25yo man arrested after alleged axe attack, and wild car chase in Worrigee, NSW
A 25-year-old man has been arrested after he allegedly attacked a woman with an axe, stole her sports car and then led police on a wild car chase that allegedly resulted in a collision with a ute. Police were called to Rayleigh Dr in Worrigee, in NSW's Illawarra shortly before 1pm on Saturday following reports that a man was armed with an axe and hammer. They allege the man tried to throw the axe at a police car before retrieving it and running into a home on Illawarra Circuit. Police allege he then assaulted a 66-year-old woman with an axe while she was sitting in her Ford Mustang, before he forced her to exit her car and ran her over before driving it away. The 66-year-old woman has taken to Shoalhaven Memorial Hospital in a serious but stable condition and was treated for multiple leg and torso injuries. She has since been taken to St George Hospital in Sydney's South for further treatment. The man then allegedly led police on an extensive chase around Illawarra, which required the assistance of PolAir helicopters. While the car was found at about 2pm on the Princes Highway, the pursuit spanned multiple suburbs through Nowra, Bomaderry, Berry, Gerringong and Kiama, with authorities claiming the man reached speeds of 180km/h on 80km/h roads. While road spikes were used, the man allegedly swerved the impediments and missed a near-collision with a highway patrol officer. The lengthy car chase came to an end after the driver allegedly collided with a ute while driving on the opposite side of the Princes Highway at Kiama Downs, about 50km from Worrigee, where police were initially alerted of the incident. Members of the public apprehended the man and held him after he allegedly attempted to flee the scene. He was then arrested and taken to Wollongong Hospital where he remains under police guard. The driver of the ute was also taken to Wollongong Hospital for assessment. While inquiries into the incident continue, police have established a crime scene and seized an axe and jammer from the Ford Mustang for forensic examination.

Teens in stolen Kia crash into Brayz Hamburgers in Hazel Park
Four teenagers fleeing from Warren police in a stolen black Kia Optima struck Brayz Hamburgers, a 24-hour Hazel Park restaurant, and injured a driver in another car on Wednesday, July 9, according to authorities. Preliminary investigation shows Warren Police responded to a report of multiple Kia thefts in progress at around 4:35 a.m. and were dispatched near Warren Manor Apartments near 8 Mile and Dequindre, Warren Police Lt. John Gajewski said in an email to the Free Press. Police got updated information and moved to Lafayette Mobile Home Community north of 8 Mile and Warner, where they saw the Optima driven by the teenagers leaving the area and attempted a traffic stop, Gajewski said. The vehicle fled from officers traveling northbound on Warner before turning westbound on 9 Mile, Gajewski said. The Kia ran a red light at the 9 Mile and Dequindre intersection and collided with a white Lincoln sedan traveling southbound on Dequindre, Gajewski said.

Four people between the ages of 16 and 17 fled on foot and 'were quickly apprehended after a brief foot pursuit,' Gajewski said. The female driver of the sedan sustained minor injuries and was transported to Henry Ford Madison Heights Hospital, where she is in stable condition, Gajewski said. Officers recovered a handgun in the Kia, as well as a second stolen Kia from the area, Gajewski said. It is not known if the second Kia was stolen by a teenager, he said. An employee on the phone around 10:30 a.m. confirmed that Brayz, known for its sliders and giant braying donkey, is open for business and said it was too busy to speak more. The business did not immediately respond to further requests for comment. The incident remains under active investigation, Gajewski said.

How Coventry's sewers starred in The Italian Job
A stretch of sewage pipe underneath Coventry cemented its place in British film history, thanks to a legendary car chase, a French stuntman and a much-loved motoring icon, the the late 1960s, while producing what would become the classic crime caper, The Italian Job, the filmmakers were could not find a suitable location in Turin, Italy, to film part of the famous escape through the streets of the city and its as Oscar-winning producer Michael Deeley recalled, luck intervened: "It was completely by chance we discovered a stretch of pipe in Stoke Aldermoor." That find led to the classic scene and, decades later, the exact location, now buried underground, is being tracked down and the story retold by the BBC's Secret Coventry series. In the heist movie, after stealing a shipment of gold destined for a Turin car factory, the robbers make their escape with the gold in three drive down steps, leap across gaps between buildings and go through the for the latter part, they needed a wide enough section of sewer pipe which, as Mr Deeley said, they found in 240m (262yd) long pipe was being installed at the time and snaked under part of Stoke Aldermoor, between The Barley Lea and Allard from the time show the Minis being lowered down to the pipes which were already being buried underground. Neville Goode was the operator of the crane and still remembers the day clearly - though at the time, he had no idea his work was part of film history."It was just putting the cars down the tunnel, no idea why. Nobody told us why it was being done," he later, after seeing the film, did the reality sink in: "We thought, 'Hang on, I remember working on that film'."Kevin Conway, a Mini enthusiast, was the driving force behind the installation of a commemorative plaque at the scene in 2019."They arranged for some local cameramen to be able to lower the Minis into the ground and it turned out to be one of the greatest British films ever made," he said. Star Michael Caine was not needed for the Coventry filming, but the daredevil behind the wheel in the tunnel was French stunt star Remy Julienne, who orchestrated much of the film's attempted to achieve a full 360-degree roll of the car inside the sewer, but Mr Conway said it ended up that Julienne "crashed a few times"."[Neville] had to take a smashed Mini out of the tunnel, on its side, drag it out and lift it out," he added. But the retired crane operator did come to the stuntman's aid through a pair of gloves lent to the Goode said: "Julienne came out and said there was too much water, it was making the steering wheel slippy so I said, 'I've got a pair of gloves in my cab if you'd like to borrow them, maybe they would help?'"So he took those and he kept them."The area above the sewer pipe and the plaque at the spot, installed six years ago, has become a surprising landmark among fans of the film, Mr Conway said."The amount of people that I meet…it's popping up on Facebook: 'Here's me standing beside it'," he added."Ten feet underneath where that plaque is, was where Remy Julienne sat in the front seat of a Mini and gunned his engine."
