Just before 10.30pm (September 9), police from Traffic and Highway Patrol Command were patrolling Green Street, Ulladulla when they attempted to stop two motorcycles for a random breath test.
One rider stopped but the other rider allegedly accelerated away at high speed.
Police pursued the motorcycle, which officers alleged was travelling at 140km/h in a 50km/h zone.
When the rider reached Village Drive, he allegedly struck a kerb and went into a grass verge.
Police stopped behind the rider, who was allegedly attempting to right the motorcycle, and tackled him to the ground to effect his arrest.
A male senior constable suffered a dislocated shoulder during the incident and was taken to Milton Hospital for treatment and later discharged.
The 20-year-old male rider was taken to Ulladulla Police Station where it was revealed he had a suspended licence.
The man was released from custody and will be issued with a court attendance notice for police pursuit, driving at a dangerous speed and driving while suspended.
He will face court at a later date.
