Rider crashes through door to escape cops

A motorcyclist has crashed through a garage door while trying to escape police in Adelaide.

The 35-year-old man, who had been spotted speeding in Adelaide's southern suburbs with a handwritten number plate, was cornered in a driveway early on Friday morning, police say.

After tracking the rider to a garage, police lifted the roller door and then dropped it as the man allegedly drove at them in an attempt to escape.

He was refused bail to appear in Christies Beach Magistrates Court on Friday charged with offences including aggravated assault, resisting arrest and carrying an offensive weapon.
