Man allegedly attacks woman with axe while fleeing police in NSW
A woman is in hospital with serious injuries after she was allegedly assaulted by an axe-weilding man, who then stole her car and led NSW police on a pursuit. Police were called to Rayleigh Drive in Worrigee, near Nowra in NSW, about 1pm on Saturday after reports a man was armed with an axe and a hammer. The man allegedly threw the axe at the police vehicle when they arrived at the scene. He then allegedly retrieved the axe and ran to a home in Illawarra Circuit, where he allegedly assaulted a 66-year-old woman who was sitting in her Ford Mustang. Police allege the man hit the woman 'multiple times' with the axe before forcing her out of the car. The woman was then run over by her own car as the man drove away. NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the woman for 'multiple leg and torso injuries' before she was taken to hospital, and later transferred to George Hospital for further treatment. With assistance from PolAir (NSW police helicopter) police located the vehicle about 2pm on the Princes Highway heading south and initiated a pursuit after the driver allegedly failed to stop when directed by police patrols. The pursuit involving the Ford Mustang continued through Nowra, Bomaderry, Berry, Gerringong and Kiama, during which the man allegedly reached speeds of 180km/h in an 80km/h speed zone. During the pursuit, police attached to Traffic and Highway Patrol Command attempted to utilise road spikes to stop the driver, however, the driver allegedly swerved the vehicle towards a highway patrol officer, narrowly missing the officer and the spikes. The pursuit ended after the Ford Mustang was seen driving on the opposite side of the Princes Highway at Kiama Downs, where it collided with a utility before stopping. The alleged driver, a 25-year-old man, then attempted to run from the scene but members of the public held him until police arrived. He was arrested and taken to Wollongong Hospital under police guard, where he remains. The driver of the ute was also taken to Wollongong Hospital for assessment. Police established a crime scene and following a search of the Mustang seized an axe and hammer for forensic examination. Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers. Stream free on

According to the Traffic and Highway Patrol Command of the NSW Police Force, a 19-year-old provisional licence holder was detected travelling at 134km/h in a 80km/h zone on Camden Valley Way at Narellan at 10:30pm on June 6. After being stopped, police say he returned negative readings for alcohol and drugs and provided no excuse for his speed.

He was also stopped before returning negative readings for alcohol and drugs and providing no excuse for his speed. Likewise, police issued him with a $2959 fine and six demerit points, and suspended him from driving for six months.

His licence was suspended immediately for six months and his registration plates were seized, leaving his vehicle unregistrable for three months. 'This sort of behaviour endangers the lives of everyone on NSW roads at any time, let alone a long weekend when the roads are filled with people heading off on holidays,' said NSW Police Force on its Facebook page.
