Police have arrested a 31-year-old Bacchus Marsh man after he evaded authorities in an allegedly stolen vehicle this morning.
Police attempted to intercept a stolen truck on Gisborne-Melton Road in Toolern Vale when the driver failed to pull over at about 8am.
The truck was dumped on Melton Road in Gisborne South a short time later, before the driver allegedly carjacked a woman in a white ute.
The woman received minor injuries during the incident.
Police followed the stolen ute through Gisborne, Woodend and Lancefield.
Stop sticks were used on Lancefield-Tooborac Road.
The driver of the stolen ute continued and entered a petrol station on Main Road, where it was involved in a collision with another car and a police vehicle.
A police officer was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The male driver ran from the scene and was arrested nearby at about 10.35am.
The man was taken into custody and will be interviewed by detectives.
It is alleged he was also involved in a carjacking on Oak Street in Seymour on the weekend, where a 77-year-old man received non-life-threatening injuries.
