A teenage driver who allegedly assaulted a police officer after he was caught doing burnouts in Sydney's west has been charged.
The off-duty officer suffered torn ligaments and a fracture to his right foot after fighting with the 17-year-old boy, police say.
A scuffle had broken out when the officer saw the teenager and his mate laying rubber on a street in The Ponds on Wednesday.
He began recording details but the teenager and a friend confronted the officer.
The driver was then arrested and allegedly assaulted the officer before running.
On Friday night the boy was found, arrested and charged with assaulting police occasioning actual bodily harm and resisting arrest.
Bail was refused and he's due before Parramatta Children's Court on Saturday.
