A car carrying a three-year-old child was involved in an "extremely dangerous" 150mph police chase in Manchester, England. The driver of the car and another passenger have been arrested.

The driver failed to stop for police and led officers on a 13-minute pursuit, which ended when the car crashed into a lamppost, Sky News reports. 

Greater Manchester Police said the child was being held by the passenger in the front seat. A dog and cannabis were also found in the car.  

Despite the drama, police said they were "thankful to report that nobody was injured during the pursuit". "The reckless actions of these offenders put a three-year-old child, as well as other members of the public going about their daily business, at risk," said Insp Richard Shelton.

The two men arrested have been charged with dangerous driving, failing to stop for police and possession of drugs.
