WATCH: West Midlands Police stinger stops speeding Mercedes in police pursuit
A video released by West Midlands Police shows the dramatic moment a speeding car was stopped by a stinger seconds after it was deployed.
The video, which can be seen on the West Midlands Police (WMP) Traffic Twitter page, shows the stinger being rolled out on a road in Birmingham.
Seconds later the Mercedes, which was being pursued by patrols from Warwickshire, is seen speeding over the stinger's razor-sharp points, which burst the tyres.
The Mercedes is quickly followed by three police cars on blue lights, with the driver subsequently arrested.
A spokesman for WMP Traffic tweeted: "This is the moment we stung a Mercedes that was being pursued by us in Birmingham after it had failed to stop for Warwickshire patrols a short time earlier.
"The driver was arrested moments later for multiple offences."
