Police have arrested a Bendigo man who was allegedly on the run from the law.

Police raided an address on Howe St, Epsom about 1am to arrest Joshua Meagher, 25, on nine warrants for allegedly skipping bail and burglary charges.

Police initially couldn’t locate Mr Meagher, with officers searching the area during the early hours of the morning.

Several residents reported being awoken to the sound of the Police Air Wing hovering over their houses as police hunted Mr Meagher.

Police later found him at an address in Ironbark, West Bendigo just before 9am.

Mr Meagher was taken to hospital under police guard for injuries believed to have been sustained while he was jumping a fence in an alleged attempt to escape police.

He will be interviewed at a later time.
