Four vehicles, including three police cars, were hit by a driver attempting to escape officers in the Lower Hutt suburb of Epuni.
Five officers received minor injuries and cars were extensively damaged in the "quick-moving" incident on Tuesday afternoon, police said.
Police have also confirmed to RNZ that a child known to the driver that rammed officers was in the car.
A 49-year-old man is appearing in Hutt Valley Court today on charges of aggravated assault and failing to stop for police.
