A man has been charged following a chaotic early morning incident that saw a police dog squad vehicle struck and traffic severely disrupted on the Gateway Motorway on March 29.

Police were first alerted shortly after 2am to reports of a red Holden Commodore utility attempting to force entry into a business on Holt Street at Eagle Farm, damaging the property's gates.

A short time later, the same vehicle was spotted travelling along the Gateway Motorway at Murarrie alongside another car.

During the incident, the ute allegedly reversed into a police dog squad vehicle before fleeing the scene at speed. Neither the officer nor the police dog sustained any injuries.

Multiple police units responded, later intercepting a Ford Falcon sedan at Hamilton believed to be connected to the motorway disturbance.

A 31-year-old man from Loganlea has been charged with multiple offences, including dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, participating in unlawful hooning activity, causing a vehicle to lose traction, creating excessive noise or smoke, and obstructing police.

He was refused police bail and is scheduled to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on March 30.

Two passengers-a 21-year-old woman from Wavell Heights and a 16-year-old girl from North Lakes-were released without charge.

Police have seized the sedan and other items as part of ongoing investigations, with further arrests expected.

Authorities are urging anyone who witnessed the incident or has dashcam footage to come forward.
