A man has been charged after he allegedly rammed a group of motorbike riders who then chased him to a petrol station.
Police were called to Bass Hill Plaza's car park in south-west Sydney around 8.45pm on Friday where they found a Holden sedan that had crashed into a fire hydrant.
The driver had left the scene before officers arrived, sparking a manhunt.
After initial inquiries, officers discovered the car had allegedly struck a group of stationary motorbike riders at the intersection of the Hume Highway and Johnson Road just 15 minutes before.
The driver of the sedan left the intersection but was allegedly pursued by the riders and assaulted at a nearby service station.
Footage captured by a motorcyclist's helmet, and obtained by 7News, appeared to show the car barreling between the riders.
The car tyres could be seen driving over one of the bikes.
In another shot, some of the motorcyclists seemingly punched at the person in the car, while one jumped up and down on the vehicle's roof.
