A manic motorist caused an undercover police car to flip over during chaos on the road, with cops and a tuktuk driver rushed to hospital.

The bizarre scene was sparked after the driver failed to stop – with the law’s efforts to block the vehicle going terribly wrong.

An unmarked police vehicle can be seen attempting to ram the suspects motor to prevent them from moving.

The man behind the wheel suddenly performs a hand brake turn causing the larger cop car to mount the vehicle and flip over.

The staggering scene took place on Stamford Street, in Waterloo, London, as reported by Need To Know.

Chaos unfolded on the road around 3:45pm on 3 Jun, involving City of London Police officers.

The pursuit began after the man failed to stop for the cops on Farringdon Road.

The police confirmed that during the chase the driver “rammed” into their vehicles and also “mounted” the pavement – endangering pedestrians.

The vehicle was eventually brought to a halt and the 34-year-old suspect was removed from the car and arrested for dangerous driving, failure to stop, no insurance, criminal damage and drug driving.

He remains in police custody.

After the chaotic scenes, the two officers in the flipped vehicle were taken to hospital but avoided serious injury.

A tuktuk driver sustained minor injuries and was also taken to hospital.

A member of the public who witnessed the chaos was treated at the scene after suffering with chest pains.
