Police are appealing for public assistance following a police pursuit in Sydney’s west.
About 10am today (Saturday 4 December 2021), police were patrolling the intersection of Grose Street and O’Connell Street, Parramatta, when they saw a stolen white Mercedes.

A 34-year-old man was arrested a short distance away and has been taken to Westmead Hospital for observation. He remains in hospital under police guard.
Police are appealing for any dashcam footage or witnesses to the incident to come forward as they search for the other occupants.
