About 3.20pm on Saturday, an officer attached to Chifley Highway Patrol stopped a Toyota Camry on White Rock Road, Kelso after it was detected travelling at more than 100km/h in a 60km/h zone.

The officer spoke to the driver, a 32-year-old man, before attempting to have him take a roadside breath, which he allegedly refused.

The man attempted to drive away before the officer removed the keys from the ignition and instructed him to get out of the vehicle.

The driver exited the vehicle and allegedly punched the male senior constable in the face multiple times before he headbutted the officer.

The officer deployed capsicum spray and the man was restrained and arrested.

He was taken to Bathurst Police Station where a breath test returned a positive result. A subsequent breath analysis recorded a reading of 0.09.

The Bathurst man was charged with assaulting an officer in the execution of duty, resisting an officer in execution of duty (DV), stalk/intimidate intend fear physical etc harm (personal), class A motor vehicle exceed speed (greater than 30 km/h), driving a motor vehicle while licence suspended, mid range PCA, and using an offensive weapon to prevent lawful detention.

He was refused bail to appear in Dubbo Bail Court Sunday.

The senior constable sustained soft tissue damage and attended Bathurst Hospital for assessment.
