The moment a 17-year-old P-plater was arrested during a high-speed pursuit has been caught on camera, showing four officers swarming the vehicle.
The teenager was allegedly behind the wheel of a sedan which reached speeds of more than 200km/h as it was pursued by NSW Police about 12.50am on Monday.
Officers followed the teen from Villawood to Old Guildford in Western Sydney, NSW Police allege.
The car eventually stopped on McArthur St in Guildford.
Footage of the arrest, showing the teen standing with his arms up next to the vehicle, has been shared to social media.
One officer then approaches him and pushes him to the ground, while two more officers pull a passenger from the vehicle.
A fourth officer then joins in, with three officers at one point involved in arresting the alleged driver.
A minute after the recording begins, the teen is rolled onto his stomach and taken into custody.
He was later charged with dangerous driving, negligent driving, speeding more than 45km/h over the limit, failing to stop at a red light and at a stop sign, not displaying P plates, driving a prohibited vehicle, and driving with more than one passenger under the age of 21.
He was granted conditional bail to appear in court on May 28.
Three other people were allegedly inside the vehicle during the incident, police said.
They were taken into custody but later released without charge.
Social media users were divided over the footage, with some people claiming the officers' response was too aggressive given the teen was seen to put his hands up and did not seem to be resisting arrest.
However, the video gave no other context of the incident — which many people also acknowledged.
