A man will face court tomorrow following a pursuit in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

About 1.50am today (Thursday 12 November 2026), police attempted to stop a vehicle on Martins Avenue, Bondi.

• Not comply P1 licence – no P plates,
• Refuse or fail to submit to breath analysis,
• Not stop at stop line at red light (not toll booth)-motor vehicle,
• Refuse or fail to submit to oral fluid test
