The driver of a suspected stolen Lexus rammed the motor into police cars as he tried to escape - before being arrested. Greater Manchester Police said officers chased down the car, believed to have been solen in Worsley, Salford, overnight.
Cops later clocked the car, a gold Lexus RX450h, being driven along the M60. Officers from GMP's roads policing unit (RPU) tracked down the car but the driver wouldn't stop.
Officers eventually brought it to a halt with a stinger. An image shared by GMP Traffic earlier today (September 8) showed a flat front tyre completely flat, with the car coming to a stop on a pavement.

A spokesperson for GMP Traffic tweeted: "This Lexus was stolen overnight in a burglary from Worsley. It was seen by RPU on the M60 and stinger deployed as it exited the motorway. The driver attempt to flee by ramming into our vehicles.
"All three occupants of the vehicle were arrested and remain in custody."
