A man has been shot by police after allegedly ramming an officer between two vehicles with a reportedly stolen car in Sydney’s south-west.<\/p>\n

Public order and riot squad officers came across a Toyota C-HR \u2014 reportedly stolen from Riverwood \u2014 on Juno Parade in Punchbowl about 8:40pm on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

When an officer attempted to arrest the driver at the intersection of Punchbowl Road, the vehicle accelerated, pinning him between two cars.<\/p>\n

The officer fired his gun at the Toyota before it drove off.<\/p>\n

Paramedics treated the 39-year-old officer for injuries to his lower leg and he was taken to hospital in a stable condition.<\/p>\n

Just after 9:15pm police were called to Thorn Street at Ryde following reports an injured man had been seen walking along the street.<\/p>\n

Police said a stolen Toyota was located on Richard Johnson Crescent shortly before a man suffering a gunshot wound was found in the yard of a nearby home.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old man was taken to hospital in a stable condition where he remains under police guard.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, emergency services were called to Campbell Hill Road at Chester Hill about 11:30pm following reports shots were fired from one car into another.<\/p>\n

Both vehicles left the scene before police arrived.<\/p>\n

At about 11:35pm, a 26-year-old man presented at Auburn Hospital with gunshot wounds to his leg.<\/p>\n

Officers attended the hospital and located a Mercedes in the car park with a number of bullet holes and a crime scene was established.<\/p>\n

Police said officers attempted to speak with a 30-year-old man in the emergency department when he allegedly repeatedly punched a 58-year-old chief inspector, causing lacerations to his head.<\/p>\n

The man was arrested and taken to Auburn Police Station where he was charged with assaulting a police officer in the execution of duty.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old injured man has since been transferred and remains in a critical condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man has been shot by police after allegedly ramming an officer between two vehicles with a reportedly…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":746231,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2],"tags":[4740,4219,32676,256840,50,22234,9309,5488,101,307296],"class_list":["post-746230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-australia","tag-crime","tag-crime-scene","tag-greenacre","tag-news","tag-nsw-ambulance","tag-nsw-police","tag-police-shooting","tag-shooting","tag-south-west-sydney"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116450584761742588","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=746230"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746230\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/746231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=746230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=746230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=746230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
