A driver has been arrested after allegedly fleeing from police for more than 8km with his bonnet uplifted and blocking his windscreen in Melbourne's south early this morning.
Cranbourne uniform members were on patrol when they came across a vehicle with a badly damaged front-end driving through Cranbourne West about 12.20am.
They did a u-turn to try and intercept the driver, who refused to pull over.
The police Air Wing began tracking the vehicle from overhead, guiding members on the ground to the vehicle's whereabouts.
The 27-year-old driver pulled over and ran from the car near McCormacks Road in Carrum Downs.
In his haste, the fleeing man rolled his ankle and police were easily able to catch up with him.
He was provided with medical treatment and taken into custody.
Police charged the Carrum Downs man with fail to stop at police direction, unlicensed driving, drive unregistered motor vehicle, resist arrest, possess meth, GHB and cannabis and commit indictable offence while on bail.
