Officers had tried to stop a stolen Holden Statesman on Ryan Road in Glenroy about 6.15am on Monday, but the vehicle sped off.
The vehicle had earlier been taken from Beard Street in Wodonga, and was spotted in Wodonga about 12.15pm.
The car allegedly travelled into Albury on the Hume Freeway and a pursuit was initiated before being called off due to safety concerns.
A second chase occurred near Walla about 2pm, but the driver allegedly crashed into a fence on Alma Park Road and fled on foot.
The dog squad was called in and found the 23-year-old man one kilometre from the crash scene.
The accused man, Brodie Stoll, was treated at Culcairn hospital for minor injuries before being charged.

The 22-year-old man, Cameron Coulston, reportedly got into a Subaru Brumby ute as a passenger, which police stopped on Urana Road near Jindera.
