PICTURED: Police officer sits on overturned car after dramatic chase

The red Subaru failed to stop for traffic officers on Park Lane East, Tipton, before rolling on to its side near Slater Street.

One witness told the Express & Star: "The one cop that's sat on top the car had to stay there for ages alone with prisoners in the crashed car. There was a police dog handler, too."

West Midlands Police said: "The driver made off on foot and two passengers inside the vehicle were detained."

They are believed to have been taken to hospital with minor injuries after the crash, which happened at around 4.30pm yesterday.
