A 25-year-old Stratton man will face court on Wednesday after allegedly leading police on a chase through Perth’s east on Tuesday afternoon.
Police allege the man was the driver of a Holden Trailblazer that failed to stop when officers attempted to pull the car over on Ferguson Street about 2.50pm.
The chase didn’t last long before the car hit a railway embankment, ending up on the train line near Farrall Road in Swan View.
Police allege the man fled the scene but was arrested nearby.
The 25-year-old man has been charged with reckless driving to escape pursuit by police, driver of a vehicle failed to comply with a direction to stop (circumstance of aggravation), and no authority to drive (disqualified from holding or obtaining).
He will appear before Perth Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
