A man was driving on Short Heath Road at around 2.20pm on Saturday (January 18) when he was threatened with a knife and told to get out of the vehicle.
West Midlands Police tracked down the stolen vehicle, which was brought safely to a stop following a short pursuit - but not before it had rammed into two police vehicles.
The stolen vehicle was later picked up by traffic and firearms teams and a knife was recovered from inside.
Three people in their 30s, all from Birmingham, were subsequently arrested and charged following the incident.
In a statement, West Midlands Police said: "Steven Hurlstone, aged 39 and from Birmingham has been charged with aggravated vehicle taking and dangerous driving, driving without insurance, and driving a vehicle otherwise than in accordance with a licence.
