Two men have been arrested following the road smash in Northern Relief Road, Barking, on Sunday at around 3am.

The pursuit began after two men were seen torching a car in Longbridge Road, Barking, before they sped off when approached by police.

As they fled they crashed into a police car and as the officers tried to chase on foot they were driven at.

The car continued through Dagenham before crashing – the two occupants were arrested.

Both men are currently in custody at a police station after being held on suspicion of several offences including arson with the intent to endanger life, attempted GBH on the police officers and dangerous driving.
