Picture: Bill Hearne Source: News Limited A DRAMATIC police pursuit through the Sydney CBD this morning ended in a ball of flames after a 34-year-old man crashed into an art gallery curator's uninsured - and now unsellable - ute. Police cars came screaming east along George Street about 2.30am after they spotted a blue Ford Futura "driving erratically." A pursuit of the vehicle was initiated, with the male driver leading police to the corner of Argyle Street and High Street, near The Rocks. There he slammed into a parked white ute as police scrambled to block the driver in. "It was a very loud bang," said Gallery Eight curator and ute owner Peter Cramer. I came running outside and saw that he'd hit my ute, I'm pretty upset as you can imagine. The two vehicles burst into flames shortly after the collision, requiring the services of NSW fire and rescue officers to extinguish the blaze. There was a bit of drama, the cops tried to peg him in with their cars. They took 15 minutes to get him in the van, he was screaming his lungs out and trying to get away, they were worried he was going to jump off the bridge. Mr Cramer, himself an artist, said his van was uninsured at the time of the collision. "I thought I was lucky, I was about to sell it," he said. Sydney police inspector Dave Richards confirmed the collision came following a police pursuit and said the driver was under police guard at St Vincent's hospital. "There's a male in custody who more than likely will be charged," he said. The driver is in a stable condition. A 24-year-old woman was allegedly threatened with "a knife and a pair of scissors" during a home invasion in Sydney's south last night. Police say three men forced their way inside a house on Linden Street, Sutherland about 11pm last night. Once inside, the men threatened the occupants - a 27-year-old man and 24-year-old woman - before allegedly assaulting the male. The woman was threatened by the alleged offenders, who then fled the scene with the couple's mobile phones and wallets. A crime scene was set up at the house and specialist forensics officers were this morning scouring the scene. Police are appealing to the public for help in locating the three men. They are described as being of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern appearance, with one of the men sporting grey hair and believed to be aged around 50. Anybody with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
