THIS is the shocking police footage showing the dangerous driving of Kyle Johnson as he fled from a campsite after attacking bar staff.

Johnson, 29, of Hudson Close, Wetherby, was arrested a short time later after abandoning his car on the A64 near Malton and running off on foot into nearby fields.

The high-speed pursuit happened after North Yorkshire Police received a call from the Crow’s Nest camp site near Filey after Johnson was warned about his rowdy behaviour by a woman bartender who he then assaulted and pushed to the floor.

A force spokeswoman said: "Johnson then hit a customer over the head with a bottle after he went to the aid of the woman.

"After attempting to punch a second man, Johnson then got in his Vauxhall Astra and drove off at high speed towards Scarborough, veering onto the wrong side of the road and into the path of oncoming vehicles causing one to swerve off the road to avoid a collision.

"Officers spotted his car in Eastfield and after seeing the police car, Johnson drove off at speeds of over 100mph along the A64 towards Malton. His driving caused a number of other motorists to take evasive action as he repeatedly drove on the opposite carriageway at high speed.

"He eventually stopped in the carriageway, rammed the police car then drove off again before abandoning his car."
