Friday night pursuit news story on the web. perthnow

POLICE threatened to subdue an aggressive man with a Taser stun-gun after a bizarre courtroom outburst yesterday. Ian Michael Moorehouse lunged at a court official and yelled obscenities in East Perth Magistrates Court, disputing the validity of charges against him.

Wearing a ripped blue forensics suit exposing his bare chest, Mr Moorehouse, 49, appeared on several charges, including ramming two police cars during a pursuit on Friday night and menacing police with knives. As Magistrate Michael Wheeler read out the charges, Mr Moorehouse screamed repeatedly "I know nothing of that'', "It's bullshit'' and "This is a joke''. He then turned on the court official, tried to back him into a corner of the dock and yelled: "Where's your knife. Get your Taser (stun) gun out.''

Three police officers then stormed the dock, pointed a Taser at Mr Moorehouse and told him to settle down. He was not required to plead and was remanded to Graylands Hospital for mental health assessment. He will appear in Perth Magistrates Court on Friday. Charges against him include aggravated burglary, aggravated assault occasioning bodily harm, attempted criminal damage by fire, possessing an article with intent to injure, reckless driving and failure to stop. He is also charged with assault with intent to prevent arrest, three counts of breaching a violence restraining order and two counts of failing to stop after a traffic accident.

Earlier, Senior-Sgt Bert Cohen said a chase began along the Kwinana and Graham Farmer freeways about 7pm on Friday after a driver tried to ram a police car at a service station in Thomas Rd, Bertram. After leading police for more than 20km the driver rammed a second police car and another vehicle just south of Canning Bridge. Sen-Sgt Cohen said the driver pulled into the emergency lane and reversed into the police car. One officer suffered concussion when his head hit the windscreen.

The driver then did a U-turn and drove south against the traffic in the northbound lanes of Kwinana Freeway. Police pursued the utility on to the Graham Farmer Freeway, through the tunnel and on to Orrong Rd, where it did a U-turn and returned to the Graham Farmer Freeway. A "stinger'' placed on Graham Farmer Freeway, near the Windan Bridge, deflated the ute's right tyre. The driver then allegedly menaced police with two knives and was arrested after being subdued with stun-guns.

The concussed police officer was treated at Fremantle Hospital.

Thanks Zeebeedee....
I am a new user (but have been a regular reviewer) and didnt think to look up here.
Does anyone happen to know whats going on???
I have been listening on 26 since I got home (6.30pm) but haven't been able to work out whats going on. Obviously something of a big deal. I just called a friend and he said there was nothing on the news about it, however I saw both Channels 7 & 9 there (before 6.00pm), so maybe they weren't allowed to broadcast???
