Two police officers have been injured and their car written when it was rammed in a wild chase through Perth’s western suburbs last night.

The driver, 29-year-old Joshua Rowson, allegedly had two kids in the back seat when he slammed into parked cars as he tried to get away last night.

The chaos unfolded in Churchlands and ended in a usually quiet cul-de-sac.

“We were all getting ready for bed at the same time actually and I said, ‘There’s something going on out the front’,” resident Elizabeth Ogilvie told 9News.

After allegedly failing to stop for police on Pearson road at 10.40pm, the Holden Commodore hit a dead end.

The driver’s next move is hard to see on the CCTV footage but he’s accused of ramming a police car.

“There was six police cars I just saw them coming up and down,” neighbour Vanessa told 9News.

The 29-year-old’s daring dash wasn’t over there.

He appeared to hit the accelerator, reversing into a parked Kia, pushing Ogilvie’s vehicle sideways.

“It was such a big kerfuffle I thought they’d smashed into every car in the cul-de-sac,” the mother-of-four said.

Rowson was arrested and faced court today.

He was accused of speeding 50km/h over the limit on the wrong side of the road with two kids inside the car.

The police car was written off and two officers were injured during the ordeal, experiencing whiplash plus neck, back and shoulder pain.

They were sent for medical treatment.
