Roads in south London have been taped off after police chased a suspect through south London on Thursday afternoon.
A wanted suspect who was driving a stolen vehicle rammed into a police car before making off through the streets of Clapham.
Police have cordoned off Elms Crescent and Hambalt Road, near to Abbeville Road and Clapham Common station, while they hunt for the stolen car.
The driver fled the scene in the car and is still at large.
Officers were in Park Hill in Clapham at just after 3.20pm when they spotted a vehicle which had been reported stolen in a burglary.
Police gave chase through Elms Crescent when the driver of the stolen car reversed and crashed into the police car.
The stolen vehicle was last seen in Atkins Way, the Met told the Standard.
Passers-by shared photos taken from the busy Abbeville Road, showing a police cordon next to the Co-op at the corner of Hambalt Road.
A spokeswoman added: “Police have closed Hambalt Road and Elms Crescent while they carry out enquiries.
“The vehicle remains outstanding."
