| He then jumps onto the side of the lorry, clinging onto the truck as it drives forward. He continues to hold onto the vehicle as, according to The Sun, officers shoot at the front in an attempt to stop the driver. | He then jumps onto the side of the lorry, clinging onto the truck as it drives forward.
