A man has allegedly spat blood at a police officer after taking them on a wild ride in Melbourne’s south-west, mowing down several trees near multiple homes.

The incident happened when officers tried to stop the Holden driver who was allegedly doing burnouts out the front of Corio Police Station about 3.45am.

Police allege 20-year-old Weet Mamour then fled before crashing in Saltwater Promenade at Point Cook, where he became aggressive and allegedly spat blood at an officer’s face during his arrest about 5.20am.

It took three officers to put him in the back of the divvy van.

An ambulance was also called to the badly damaged scene, with a paramedic trying to put a mask on Mr Mamour, but was fought off.

“We saw a car stuck in the bushes … It must have been coming around here and lost control … but it wasn’t wet so I don’t know,” one local said.

Mr Mamour’s mother and sister earlier today said they hoped he was safe.

“We’re just trying to find out where he is, if he’s OK,” his sister Abeny said.

“I don’t know what happened because he’s sleeping at his cousin’s house,” his mother Martha Mamour said.

Police charged the man with 13 offences including assaulting police, resisting arrest, careless driving, driving in a dangerous manner, failing to have proper control of a motor vehicle and failing to stop vehicle upon police request.

The 20-year-old was bailed to appear before the Werribee Magistrates’ Court on December 14.
