A man was so desperate to flee the law he ran head-first into a window and damaged a glass door to avoid speaking with officers, police allege.

Police say the 39-year-old made a run for it after they attended an apartment in West Perth on Sunday, crashing and bashing his way out of the property.

And there was more to come.

“It is alleged the man ran down Newcastle Street, jumping a fence, then ran into the Graham Farmer tunnel causing several vehicles to take evasive action,” a WA Police spokeswoman said.

“It is also alleged the man attempted to enter a vehicle but was dragged along the road before he was apprehended by police.”

The man was taken to hospital for treatment.

A search of the Harwood Lane apartment uncovered more than 100 items including two antique pistols, jewellery and electrical goods. All items are believed to have been stolen.

Housebreaking items and clothing were also found during the search.

The Tuart Hill man is facing dozens of charges - with stealing, burglary, obstructing police officers, walking on the freeway and breaking bail among them.

A 20-year-old Thornlie woman is also set to appear in court over an alleged drug-related offence.
