A police chase that stretched 30km across Sydney has left one officer in hospital and several cars wrecked.
Highway patrol officers spotted a Citroen sedan, which was believed to be stolen, driving along Reservoir Road in Blacktown, western Sydney, at 9.15pm on Saturday.
The officers immediately entered into a pursuit after the driver refused to stop the vehicle, before the chase ended 30kms away on James Street in Leichhardt, in Sydney’s inner west.
NSW Police said the sedan crashed into two parked cars and rammed three police cars before the driver turned around and attempted to run the officers over.
Despite one officer opening fire on the vehicle and another discharging a taser, the driver was able to escape from the scene.
During the escape a 27-year-old officer was left with a head injury and was rushed to hospital for treatment.
The abandoned sedan was located a short time later dumped in a driveway on Crystal Street in nearby Petersham.
Police have now established two separate crime scenes at James and Crystal streets and an investigation into the incident is underway.
The suspect remains at large and officers are urging anyone who saw the chase or has dashcam footage to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
