Three fully marked police cars were patrolling the Nambucca Railway Station at about 7.30pm last night when a suspected stolen Subaru WRX entered the carpark.
Police say they followed the car for a short distance when the Subaru stopped. As the officers walked towards the car, the driver reversed, forcing the police to take evasive action.
An officer attached to the Dog Unit, returned to his car and attempted to follow the Subaru. The driver allegedly accelerated towards the police car ramming the driver's side door.
The Subaru was able to accelerate out of the carpark and the other police attempted to follow but lost sight of it.
The officer suffered only minor injuries and the police dogs were uninjured.
Police are now searching for the driver of the car. He is described as being of Caucasian appearance, 180 cm tall, and of thin build.
He is driving a grey-coloured Subaru WRX with New South Wales registration DCZ 14M.
Investigations are continuing.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report crime via NSW Police social media pages.
