Officers spotted a vehicle on Hazeldean Road carrying out a sustained loss of traction about 2.30pm.
Superintendent Lane Todd says they signalled for it to stop but it took off and drove into a police motorcycle causing minor damage.
A pursuit was authorised and a short time later, officers stopped the vehicle near the intersection of Longfellow and Millar Streets.
During this incident the vehicle is alleged to have also hit a police car twice, as well as two parked cars, causing extensive damage.
A man is due to appear in the Christchurch District Court on Wednesday facing several driving-related charges.
