A woman – wanted by virtue of three outstanding warrants – has been charged after allegedly assaulting two police officers to avoid arrest in the state's north yesterday.
About 2.20pm (Friday 30 October 2026), an officer attached to the Dog Unit attended a restaurant carpark on Gordon Street, Port Macquarie, and attempted to speak with a 30-year-old woman wanted on multiple outstanding warrants.
Shortly upon arrival, the woman allegedly exited an SUV and attempted to leave the carpark.
It will be alleged that whilst the woman was directed to stop, she proceeded to assault the officer at the scene.
The woman then re-entered the SUV, and whilst attempting to leave the carpark again, collided with a parked hatchback and pole.
A short time later, the 30-year-old was removed from the car and arrested by officers attached to Mid North Coast Police District, with assistance from the Raptor Squad.
During the arrest, police will allege the woman assaulted a second officer.
The two officers sustained minor injuries and did not require further treatment.
