It’s been revealed the 18-year-old Valentine man arrested following a police pursuit and assaulting an officer, is on his learner’s licence.
Police attempted to stop a stolen Holden Captiva in Gosford on Monday at about 7.15am, but allege the driver accelerated away from them.
A pursuit commenced, with the car colliding with another vehicle and coming to a stop.
The male driver of the stolen vehicle was arrested after a short foot chase. He allegedly assaulted a police officer during the arrest.
A subsequent search of the vehicle allegedly revealed a number of stolen items.
The driver of the second vehicle was unhurt, but a 69-year-old female was taken to hospital suffering shock.

The man appeared in Gosford Local Court yesterday and was refused bail to reappear in the same court on Thursday 6 June.
