This is the shocking moment a white van man rams a police car into a wall from behind at 80mph in a dramatic M1 chase.
Two suspected thieves have been arrested for attempted murder following the crash in the early hours of Thursday morning, in which brave officers amazingly escaped without any serious injuries.
Video footage shows the squad car moving in front of the van, before the driver slams into the back of him and declares: ‘See you later.’
A dramatic image also shows the aftermath of the incident in the form of the mangled wreckage of the police vehicle, which has its front end badly damaged.
Other photos show the white van after it was boxed in by police at 2.30am following the high speed chase.
