Police have charged a 31-year-old Meerigum man following an incident in Mildura West last Friday, October 9th.
It is alleged the man failed to stop for police when officers attempted to intercept a vehicle in Mildura West before the vehicle was later located abandoned in Merbein.
Following information provided by the Victoria Police Air Wing, police located the man on a nearby houseboat.
When police approached, it is alleged the man entered the Murray River and refused repeated requests to come ashore.
Police from Victoria and New South Wales worked together to safely bring the man from the water before he was assessed by paramedics and taken into custody.
The man has been charged with dangerous driving while pursued by police.
He was remanded in custody and will face court at a later date.
