Police have arrested two teenagers and a car has been recovered, just an hour after they were called to reports of a carjacking in Birmingham.
The Vauxhall Insignia was taken at 3.40am this morning on Lea Ford Road. The couple in the car were threatened and forced out of their vehicle.
Officers spotted the car on Tyburn Road and followed it in one of its unmarked cars.
The stolen car then crashed into a parked car which rolled into a taxi on Ellerton Road, Kingstanding.
Two 16-year-old boys were arrested on suspicion of robbery.
Two machetes were found in the car and they have been recovered for forensic examination, alongside the vehicle.
The driver of the taxi suffered injuries to his hand and was taken to hospital.
