Police fired a gun and a taser in an attempt to arrest a man caught robbing a business in Bungendore early on Friday morning before the alleged offender stole a police car and headed to Canberra.
Police, called to Malbon Street, Bungendore, at around 2.20am on Friday following reports of a break and enter at a business, arrived to find a man inside the premises.
Punches were thrown in a struggle when police tried to arrest him. Police fired a taser that proved ineffective and the man stole their marked police vehicle and allegedly drove towards the two constables.
One of the constables fired a gun that hit the passenger door of the police car.
The police vehicle was later recovered by ACT police at the intersection of Canberra Avenue and Geelong Street, Fyshwick. No property was missing from the vehicle.
On Sunday morning ACT police arrested a 24-year-old man inside a car parked on Rosenthal Street, Campbell.
NSW police will seek extradition in the ACT Magistrates Court on Monday.

![For graphic designer Tracy Hall, street art is like any artwork, her canvas has been swapped out for fences and plywood, her medium changing from watercolours to spray paint.
A Canberra resident for 13 years, Tracy has been a street and mural artist for the past five.
Her first exploration into grand-scale painting was at the Point Hut toilets in Banks five years ago. “They had just finished doing up the playground area for all the little kids and the words [of graffiti] that were coming up weren’t family friendly,” she says.
“So I ended up drawing this design and I got approval for the artwork.”
Many of Tracy’s time-consuming artworks are free, with thousands of her own dollars put into paint.
