THIS is the moment a teen driver wielding a stolen car tries to crush a police officer after a high-speed chase.
The shocking attempt to pin the sergeant against barriers on the A22 in Surrey left him in hospital.
Ramone Kidd was jailed yesterday for 23 months after cops skillfully boxed in his car.
But during the operation, dashcam footage captures Kidd swerving his Kia into one of the cars trying to force it off the road.
He reverses away from officers who get out of their car and try smashing the teen's windows.
Sergeant Schultze, who was on the passenger side of Kidd's car, runs around to the driver's side when the car suddenly accelerates into him, forcing him against barriers and nearly crushing him.
It happened in the early hours of Wednesday, June 13, after officers chased a suspected stolen vehicle which was linked to a burglary eight days before.
The three occupants, two 19-year-old men and a 17-year-old boy, were arrested for various offences including burglary, theft of a motor vehicle, and failure to stop.

More Brit weakness on display. And they wonder why they lost their country.
“When asked for a comment about the incident, Sergeant Schultze responded; ...”
We don’t need no stinking guns. He then added, “I know nothing!”
Well they are politely losing it anyway. Stiff upper lip and all.
Surprisingly no. I attribute my health & stamina to bodybuilding and scalping settlers.
He actually lived to get to the booking desk???
It’s England. They probably offered him tea and biscuits before they booked him.
the day after the crime he was jailed for 23 months? Someone needs to explain to us how justice works so fast in Britain.
Good point... but after your comment I looked into the body of the article, and the event occurred on June 13.
Pretty swift justice... just too lenient.
Totally forgot about that song. White Punks on Dope is my favorite Tube’s song
The absolute best Tubes album out there is their 1978 live release, “What Do You Want From Live.”
Fantastic sound from a live recording, especially considering when it was done. Great collection of songs, too (including WPOD).
