The dramatic moment a car smashed through a Leeds shop front at high speed was captured on CCTV.
From the video, it looks as though the Audi car was being chased by police before it careered through the front window of a barbers and tattoo parlour on Town Street in Stanningley.
In the footage, the dark coloured Audi appeared from the left, seemingly emerging onto Town Street from Richardshaw Lane.
It smashed straight through the front of Creating Utopia Tattoo Studio, almost disappearing inside the building.

Moments later a police car comes to a halt behind the scene of the crash and two police officers run towards the Audi.
The crash happened shortly before 3am today.
One witness, who works at a shop a few doors down, said: "It’s crazy, it happened last night around 2.45am.
He added: "I think it was a police chase.”
A huge police cordon has been set up across Richardshaw Lane, Bradford Road and Town Street.
