A Mandurah man has been charged with 20 offences after he allegedly rammed three cars, a fence and a house between Serpentine and Byford.

Police will allege the man was passenger in a vehicle being driven by another man from an address in Greenfields about 3:30am on Friday.

During the journey, the 31 year old man produced a knife and made threats towards the driver who was able to stop the car in Serpentine around an hour later and get out before attempting to flag down a passing Nissan Navara being driven by 40 year old woman. 

The woman drove off before the 31 year old man followed in the Ford Territory and rammed the woman’s vehicle a number of times causing it to roll.

The man was the able to force entry into another house where the male resident attempted to remove him. The resident was assaulted during this incident.  

The alleged offender then fled into the loft space of the house where police attempted to apprehend him. While restraining him, an officer and the alleged offender fell through the loft floor into the room below.  

He was arrested shortly after outside the house and it is alleged that during this incident he assaulted a police officer on two occasions.
