A man has been arrested following a pursuit in the Blue Mountains which saw a police officer open fire during the chase.

The man allegedly hit and dragged an officer during a traffic stop before a wild chase unfolded, with the pursuit lasting nearly two hours.

Nine News’ Hayley Francis, who was at the scene of the arrest, revealed to Chris O’Keefe the moments that led up to the chase and how the man was finally arrested.

“A senior constable grabbed the car as it slowed down and that’s when the driver accelerated, and the officer was flung across the bonnet of a nearby police car,” she said.
