The woman faces 13 charges following incidents at Port Macquarie, Sancrox and Lake Cathie.
A Port Macquarie police pursuit has ended with a woman facing 13 charges after she allegedly accelerated towards a police vehicle, forcing officers to take evasive action.
The events began after officers from the Mid North Coast Police District started investigating the alleged domestic violence assault of a man on Monday.
Paige Cavanagh, 18, allegedly drove away when officers went to a Port Macquarie car park about 7pm on Tuesday to arrest her.
Police continued searching for Cavanagh and attempted to stop her vehicle at Sancrox about three hours later.
The Port Macquarie police pursuit began when she allegedly failed to stop as directed. Officers called it off shortly afterwards because of safety concerns.
Police spotted the vehicle at Lake Cathie a short time later.

Her vehicle was found abandoned on the Oxley Highway a short time later and she was arrested nearby.
Police allege Cavanagh resisted arrest and kicked an officer in the leg before she was taken to Port Macquarie Police Station.
