A SCHOOLBOY trapped under a police car after a suspected stolen vehicle chase has appeared before Burnley Magistrates.

The 15 year old, from Brierfield, is accused of aggravated vehicle taking and vehicle interference.

He was bailed to return and attend the youth court again on Reedley on November 4.

The youth cannot be named for legal reasons.

The teenager was injured in the early hours of Saturday after the two vehicles stopped on Halifax Road, Brierfield.

He was taken to Burnley General Hospital for treatment to his injuries, but later arrested by officers.
