WATCH: Fugitive car-jacker in stolen Audi rams police on the M6 in the West Midlands
This is the moment a fugitive in a stolen Audi collided with police on the M6 before fleeing on across the motorway.
Dramatic footage released today shows desperate Bilal Bashir trying to manoeuvre away from officers as they rammed his his vehicle.
Bashir had been serving four years for burglary when he escaped from the exercise yard at HMP Hewell last March.
Four days later, on April 1, a black Audi S5 was stolen along with other valuables from a home in Dorridge.
It pulled up outside another home in the area, and three masked men dragged the home owner out of his high performance Ferrari California and escaped with it.
But police tracked the Audi minutes later on the M6, where the dramatic video was captured.
Police blocked the car, but it then tried to drive southbound on the northbound carriageway.
Heavy traffic stopped him and the Bashir, from Alum Rock in Birmingham, fled on foot.
The stolen Ferrari was found a short time later with £40,000 of damage, and CCTV showed two men ripping the dashboard out to try to find its tracker.
All three men fled, but there was a 'wealth' of forensic evidence.
Bashir was arrested a few days later a friend's flat. Mobile phone analysis placed him at the scene of all the crimes, while another handset had pictures of the Ferrari in the days before it was stolen.
It also had a picture of him flaunting cash and vodka, the day after his escape from prison.
Detective Constable Darren Brown, from Force CID, said: "Several witnesses came forward and we had detailed descriptions as well as discarded clothing and CCTV.
"An orange glove found in the centre console matched one seen worn by the Audi driver and provided a DNA match to Bashir."
Bashir was found guilty after a five-day trial at Birmingham Crown Court. He was jailed for three years for burglary, six years for stealing the Ferrari and a year dangerous driving, all to run consecutively.
