Around 9.30pm, officers from Brisbane Water Police District were patrolling Erina when they saw a Nissan Elgrand driving erratically.
When police attempted to pull the car over on Sherwood Dr, it stopped for a moment before reversing into the front of the police vehicle. The car then drove forward, before reversing into the police car a second time.
