Dash-cam footage shows the moment police officers rammed a dangerous driver into a tree following a terrifying 80mph car chase.

Atif Ayub, 25, tried to escape from pursuing officers by shockingly driving the wrong way into oncoming traffic near Birmingham city centre.

Traffic officers were forced to end the driving rampage by "tactically shunting" his Seat Leon - pinning it against a tree and shattering the glass windows.

The chase began when Ayub made off from a patrol unit in the Saltley area of the city at around 3.45pm on January 17.

He can be seen racing along residential streets in excess of 80mph, jumping several red lights and narrowly missing members of the public.

At one point he swerves around a police stinger and carries on hurtling along at dangerous speeds throughout the six-minute pursuit.

Central Motorway Police Group (CMPG) officers brought the chase to an end on Lawley Middleway using the "controlled, approved tactical manoeuvre".

Ayub, of Ward End, Birmingham, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of dangerous driving.

He pleaded guilty to the charge, plus driving without a licence or insurance was jailed for 12 months at Birmingham Crown Court on Monday (29/3).

He was also disqualified from driving for four-and-a-half years and must pass an extended re-test following his release from prison.

Ayub was also found in possession of several car keys but it was unclear where they had come from and there was not enough evidence to charge him with car thefts

Sergeant Lee Froggatt, from CMPG, said: “Officers have used their specialist training and tactics to bring a reckless driver to a safe stop and prevent other road users being harmed.

“When Ayub headed the wrong way into Lawley Middleway the risk level increased.

"But the officers quickly spotted the road was clear and took Ayub’s Leon out before he could pose a danger to anyone else.

“This is an excellent example of an appropriate and proportionate use of tactical contact to bring a pursuit of a dangerous driver to an end.”
