Officers from South Yorkshire Police attempted to pull over a vehicle which was acting suspiciously in the early hours of August 7.

He has since been charged for driving while disqualified, aggravated vehicle taking and dangerous driving.

A 24-year-old man was also arrested for multiple driving offences, but was released with no further action.
