A hunt is underway for two men who fled after a stolen Audi hit three cars during a police chase.
A woman in one of the three cars hit was taken to hospital and images show a badly damaged wall understood to have been struck by the Audi in in Fazakerley last night.
Today Merseyside Police urged witnesses to come forward after confirming the men escaped on foot after the police chase just before 8pm.
Footage shared on social media showed several police cars at the scene in Copplehouse Lane and officers running down the street.
Residents said the Audi narrowly missed a woman and young child and "smashed into a front garden wall" as the driver fled police.
A Merseyside Police spokesperson said: "At around 7.55pm officers from its Roads Policing Unit were made aware of an Audi A4 travelling on Whitefield Road.
"After a short pursuit, the Audi collided with three other vehicles on Copplehouse Lane and two male offenders made off on foot."
Police said thankfully nobody was seriously hurt but one woman inside one of the vehicles struck by the Audi "was taken to hospital with a sore neck as a precaution."
Police said one of the men who fled is described as white, wearing beige shorts and a navy top.
The second man is described as white, with red hair, wearing a blue top and blue shorts.
Witness and CCTV enquires are being carried out in the area.
Inspector Carl McNulty from the Roads Policing Unit said: “We're looking to speak to anyone who was in the Fazakerley area last night at the time of the incident, particularly around the junction of Hawksmoore Road and Grieve Road.
"It might be that you have CCTV or dashcam footage of the offenders making off from the car, or you saw their direction of travel."
He added: ""Proactive policing and visible patrols on our roads not only give the public reassurance, they allow officers to observe any suspicious activity and act on it.
"No criminal should attempt to profit from a stolen vehicle while our wider law abiding communities work hard to earn an honest living - luckily this car will shortly be back with its owner, but we would like to find out who was responsible as soon as possible. So please do let us know if you have any information which could help the investigation.”
