He was arrested and allegedly returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.115.

A small amount of cocaine was also located in his car, which was badly damaged.

He was charged with 11 offences including reckless conduct endanger life, recklessly endanger emergency service worker by dangerous driving, drink driving and intentional loss of traction.

Another two police cars took a hit about 10pm yesterday when a driver slammed into the parked Australian Federal Police cars on LaTrobe Street in Melbourne CBD.

The 28-year-old driver was injured and taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital, where is being treated under police guard.

Police found $4000 and a taser in the man’s car at the scene.
