A police officer has been dragged by a car, after trying to arrest a man during a random breath-test in Sydney's south.
The 26-year-old driver was pulled over by two officers in Menai on Tuesday night.
During the routine stop one of them spotted an ice-pipe in the centre console of the car and attempted to place him under arrest.
The driver accelerated and dragged one officer down the road, before he was able to grab the wheel and stop the car.
The driver then allegedly assaulted both officers as they tried to restrain him, before running away.
The man was later arrested and remains under police guard in Sutherland hospital with facial injuries.
A search of his car uncovered ice, cannabis, electronic stun guns, a knife and property which is believed to be stolen.
The police officer who was dragged by the car suffered minor leg, face and head injuries while the second officer was treated for cuts to his face and hands.
