A teenager has been charged after he drove at NSW police officers and then led them on a chase into Canberra.

Police had been making inquiries about a stolen car at a home in Jerrabomberra, Queanbeyan, about 1.45am on Friday morning when they allege the 19-year-old drove a Mercedes-Benz out of the garage.

He rammed a Toyota that was parked in the driveway and then ignored police demands to stop, accelerating away and hitting an officer's leg. He then rammed a police car and kept driving.
