Porche driver allegedly filmed and taunted officer as she begged for help

The driver of a Porsche at the centre of Melbourne's police tragedy allegedly filmed and taunted one of the officers as she begged for help. Richard Pusey is accused of fleeing the scene after a truck ploughed into his Porche and two police vehicles on Wednesday night – killing four officers at the scene. Police allege the 41-year-old pulled out his phone after the crash and filmed leading Senior Constable Lynette Taylor while she lay trapped and groaning. The accused allegedly spoke to the officer saying, “amazing, absolutely amazing. All I wanted to do wanted to do was go home and eat my sushi”. He then allegedly sent the videos to friends and got a lift with a passing motorist while emergency service workers tried to save the officers’ lives. Mr Pusey is charged with a string of offences including reckless conduct endangering life, speeding, failing to remain after a drug test, failure to render assistance, drug possession, and destruction of evidence. Mr Pusey is next due to appear in court in July.
