Damien Bambridge, 29, was denied bail at the Ballarat Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.

The Delacombe man is facing five charges including endangering the safety of two on duty police officers, driving at a police vehicle, committing an offence while on bail and driving unlicensed.

Police informant Detective Senior Constable Steve Campbell told the court police were called to a house at Lawanna Court in Delacombe to reports of a family violence incident on Monday night.

He said on arrival Bambridge got into a car bearing false plates and allegedly rammed the police car while he was attempting to escape, causing damage to both vehicles.

Detective Senior Constable Campbell said the police officers, who were not injured in the incident, pursued Bambridge on foot and arrested him nearby.

The court heard Campbell was taken to the police station where he told police to 'f*ck off'.

Police opposed bail due to an acceptable risk to the safety of the public and police.

"He has displayed disdain for the police and disregard for their safety," Detective Senior Constable Campbell said.

"It is my belief the accused is an unacceptable risk, is likely to cause danger to other road users and people he comes into contact with.

"I don't believe there are any compelling reasons why the accused should be released on bail."

The court heard Bambridge denied to be interviewed about the incident when he was taken to the police station.

Police prosecutor Senior Constable Steve Repac said Bambridge had a 'significant history' of disregarding court orders.

Representing himself from the dock, Bambridge attempted to show the court he met compelling reasons for bail.

Bambridge said he tried to drive around the police vehicle when the collision occurred.

"I wasn't trying to injure anyone," he said.

He said he had a property to stay at in Shepparton if bailed and he wished to spend Christmas with his family and young daughter.

Bambridge's partner, who he lives with in Delacombe, spoke as a witness to support his application for bail in court.

Magistrate Ron Saines said he was not satisfied the facts and circumstances presented met compelling reasons and denied bail.

"...There will be a possible substantial prison sentence," Mr Saines said.

"There have been admissions made he has breached bail conditions since being bailed. He has a history of offending while on bail.

"I am not satisfied any conditions are likely to reduce the risk of engendering the public and members of Victoria Police."

Victorian Legislation shows there is a two-year minimum mandatory non-parole period if Bambridge is found guilty of ramming the police car.

Bambridge will return to the Ballarat Magistrates' Court for a committal mention on March 19.

He swore as he was escorted from the court.
