Dash cam footage of the chase, which occurred on Thursday on the outskirts of the city Marijampolė, show police in pursuit of a tan Volvo.

A few moments later, the screen is covered with a thick cloud of grey smoke, and when the cops don't stand down, the driver of the Volvo releases spikes in an attempt to takeout one of the cruiser's tires.
Eventually, the officer was able to force the Volvo off the road and into a guard rail.
