He has been charged with a number of offences including stealing a motor vehicle and failing to stop when directed to by a police officer.

He was refused bail and is due to appear in Perth Magistrates Court later today.

Two others in the car, a 20-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man have been released pending further investigation.

When the 28-year-old police officer was trapped under the car, his colleagues used a nearby resident’s carjack to lift it off him.

“We got the knock on the door from the officer frantically asking us for a carjack,” witness Ellice Dudley said.

“The officers came screaming around our backyard, into the shed, grabbed the carjack, they both ran down.”

The injured constable remains in a critical condition. It is understood he is in an induced coma with significant chest injuries.
