Dramatic footage shows the moment a reckless BMW driver led police on a dangerous high-speed chase - before crashing into another car and a wall.<br /><br />Saif Rehman, 23, was spotted by traffic officers driving a suspected cloned and stolen vehicle in the Sparkhill area of Birmingham on July 31. <br /><br />He failed to stop for police and continued driving at more than double the speed limit, through red lights and swerving past other cars along residential streets.<br /><br />At one point, Rehman went the wrong way around a roundabout and smashed into another car before speeding off and eventually hitting a brick wall. <br /><br />The shocking chase was captured by a police helicopter's thermal camera as well as dash-cam footage from traffic cops on the ground. <br /><br />Rehman can be seen trying to flee on foot away after crashing the vehicle before he was tracked by the National Police Air Service.<br /><br />Officers detained him as he tried to casually walk along Blakeland Street, in Bordesley Green.<br /><br />Body-cam footage captures an officer saying "hello fella" before putting Rehman in handcuffs and telling him: "You're under arrest, alright?"<br /><br />Rehman, of Great Barr, Birmingham, previously pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving whilst disqualified and failing to stop.<br /><br />He was jailed for 22 months and banned from driving for two years and 11 months at Birmingham Crown Court last Wednesday (30/8).<br /><br />PC Simon Smith, from West Midlands Police's Traffic Unit, said: "Rehman drove at incredibly dangerous speeds in his failed attempt to escape, all because he shouldn't have been on the road in the first place. <br /><br />"I hope this sentence shows Rehman and others that we will not tolerate dangerous driving on our streets and we will take action."
