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.

James Minney, City of London Police chief inspector, said: “A man has been arrested following a failure to stop his vehicle for City of London Police officers on Farringdon Street at around 3.45pm on Wednesday 3 June.

“Two City of London Police unmarked cars carried out an authorised pursuit.

“During the Tactical Pursuit and Containment (TPAC), the suspect’s car deliberately rammed into police vehicles and one of the police vehicles overturn on Stamford Street in Waterloo.

“The suspect’s car mounted the pavement endangering members of the public.
Specialist trained tactical police drivers affected the stop and made the arrest.

“The officers’ actions reduced the number of people who could have been injured.

“City of London Police officers arrested the male suspect, 34, shortly afterwards for dangerous driving, failure to stop, no insurance, criminal damage and drug drive.

“The suspect is in police custody.

“Two police officers exited the police car and have been taken to hospital as a precaution, although thankfully they have avoided serious injury.

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

“A member of the public who witnessed the incident suffered chest pains and was treated at the scene.”
