Officers arrived and allege the man hit the police vehicle a number of times before he was safely arrested at the scene.
He was charged with common assault, destroying property and behaving in a violent manner.
“Whilst there were no serious injuries or damage, the incident was confronting, harmful and concerning for those involved,” Inspector Aleena Crack said.
