The man was driving a station wagon, which was towing a trailer, allegedly towards the police on Warren Rd, forcing them to take “evasive action”.

In a NSW Police statement, it is alleged the man almost hit a pedestrian trying to cross Dandaloo St.

When police stopped the vehicle on McGrane Way, a five-year-old boy was found in the rear passenger seat.

The man has not made an application for bail.

He will return to court via an audiovisual link on September 7.
