The officers received minor injuries during the struggle but did not require treatment.

The wanted man was taken to Albury Police Station where he was charged with the outstanding warrants, along with multiple offences relating to resisting arrest and drug possession.

He was bail refused to appear at Albury Local Court on Monday.
