Police alleged the 38-year-old rammed a squad car with an unregistered Nissan Navarra as two constables pulled out of the driveway at Narellan police station at 7.30pm yesterday to start their shift.

Acting Inspector Troy Williams said both officers were "shaken but unhurt".

"It's certainly unique, and it's not something we encounter every day," he said.

Police said Liddington was arrested without incident after the collision.

He walked to the police station where he allegedly blew four times the legal limit.

The Gregory Hills man made no application for bail today.
