It was the high-speed police pursuit through Newcastle labelled "horrendous" that started with a 33-year-old man driving in an erratic manner to chase down a family and ended with a turbulent, collision-filled race against police vehicles.

According to NSW Police, in the late hours of Wednesday 9th February 2022, a domestic incident at a home in Mount Hutton unfolded which necessitated the collection of two children from the residence.

At about 10:30pm, the two children, aged 9 and 11, in the company of a 35-year-old woman and a 36-year-old man, left in their vehicle from the address when a 33-year old man, who is known to them, allegedly got into a Toyota Prado and began pursuing them, allegedly driving dangerously.
