Shepparton detectives attended a Katandra West property to arrest Stanley Turvey on Monday, September 18.
He was wanted for kidnapping and evading officers.
Police said Turvey approached them while armed with a gun about midday.
He was told to drop his weapon and fired a shot into the air.
He fled the scene in a vehicle.
A police division van lost control and rolled on Creighton Road in Katandra West a short time later while trying to locate Turvey.
Two police members received minor injuries.
Turvey then stopped at a random home in Youanmite and forced a male resident to drive him to Finley.
