Police have swarmed a Western Sydney street after a teenager in an allegedly stolen car crashed and flipped into a front yard, narrowly missing pedestrians.
Officers surrounded the car before pulling the 19-year-old driver from the wreck and holding him down following a pursuit Monday afternoon through the streets of Blacktown to Mount Druitt.
Police allege the car was involved in an earlier collision, in which the driver is accused of failing to stop. When they tried to pull the driver over, he allegedly sped off in the grey Mazda.
