Officer 'bitten' during ramming of police car after burglary in Melbourne
been arrested after an alleged burglary led to the offenders ramming a police car and biting an officer in Melbourne.

The pair remain in hospital under police guard.
The Audi driver suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene.
