Man who allegedly drove car into police officer at 120kph denied bail

A man who allegedly drove his car into a police officer while speeding in Sydney's south-west has been denied bail in court this morning.

Police allege David Azzi, 22, was going more than 120 kilometres per hour when he struck the senior constable in Greenacre last month.

The senior officer escaped serious injury despite being flung over the car in the 70kph zone.

Azzi appeared before Parramatta Bail Court this morning where he applied for bail but was refused.

The man was arrested at his home in Greystanes yesterday morning and charged with nine offences relating to the incident, including using an offensive weapon to prevent lawful detention and negligent driving.
