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.
