Six people have been arrested after a police car was repeatedly rammed in Airport West in the early hours of Thursday morning.

The dramatic ordeal began when police tried to intercept two vehicles speeding along Matthews Avenue about 1.30am.



One vehicle stopped but the other vehicle, a white ute, sped away from the scene. It quickly returned and repeatedly rammed into the police van, causing significant damage to the van's bonnet.

As the two police officers fled from the van, the ute switched focus and started driving towards the pair, said Senior Constable Adam West.

"The members managed to evade the ute which then left the scene with the first car following," Constable West said.
