A man has been arrested following a short pursuit that ended with the suspect allegedly reversing into a police car.

The suspect has then reversed the rental car into the police car, in an effort to escape, but he was quickly restrained and arrested.
The 45-year-old man has been arrested and expected to be charged with driving to evade police and possible drug charges after the police recovered a bag the suspect allegedly threw from the vehicle, which is believed to be contain a quantity of illicit drugs.
The arrested man will be refused police bail and will appear in the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court on Friday 5 July.
