Police attempted to intercept the vehicle and the driver refused to stop.
Police said the car sped onto Furlong Road and passed the Sunshine hospital at 136km/h in a 60 km/h zone.
A short time later the car was located dumped in Bradman Street, Sunshine.
A 26-year-old male from Yarraville was arrested about 8pm Saturday and interviewed in relation to numerous traffic offences.
