Upon arrival, officers found a white Toyota utility parked in the middle of the road and a man they say was running away on foot.
The 32-year-old from was arrested nearby a short time later.
Inspector Luke Manhood said the man was charged with evading police and hooning offences.
He was bailed to appear in court at a later date.
“Hooning and dangerous driving behaviour will not be tolerated,” Manhood said.
