Six teenagers narrowly escaped a fatal outcome during a risky police chase in Sydney involving a stolen vehicle.
The 14-year-old suspected driver crashed the car into a pole at a high velocity around 12:30 am today. Despite the impact, all occupants were able to flee the severely damaged vehicle.
Following the pursuit that spanned from Erskineville in the inner west to Mascot in the inner south, two of the teenagers have been charged.
The police chase began on Erskineville Road about 12.30am. The car was allegedly stolen from Mascot between Friday night and Saturday morning.
The fast pursuit of six kilometres took less than 10 minutes to reach Botany Road.
Police claim the teens inside the Polo were in balaclavas and gloves.
The boys were taken to Sydney Children’s Hospital in Randwick.
Two 14-year-olds have been charged with being passengers in an allegedly stolen vehicle.
Moments after they were released on bail, they were spotted in another vehicle waving the bail papers out the window.
They are set to appear in court in August.
Their four friends remain in hospital, among them the alleged driver.
All of them are under police guard.
