A teenager was tasered by police following a dramatic high speed chase in a stolen car through the streets of Columbus, Ohio.

The dramatic chase saw officers tail the trio along highways and side streets through several neighborhoods. Incredibly, nobody was hurt throughout the chase.
The incident began early on Thursday morning just before 8am when officers responded to reports of gunfire in Dublin, a northwest suburb of Columbus.
Moments later, a white SUV was reported stolen from a Marathon gas station with the connection between the two incidents fast becoming clear as police located the vehicle.
Dash cam footage sees two police cruisers spotting the stolen car – but as officers engage, the suspects hightailed it sending the chase into a high-speed pursuit through busy city streets.

Eventually, the driver, a young male abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot towards nearby train tracks.
