A man who led police on a high-speed car chase, reaching 105 miles an hour, was spared jail because he was suffering mental problems.

Jahanzaib Khan, 24, raced more than ten miles from Halifax to Bradford before the driver of a patrol car deliberately nudged him into a wall, a court heard.

Khan, of Southfield Square, Manningham, Bradford, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving on February 13.

Prosecutor Paul Nicholson said police spotted Khan's rented Seat car in Halifax shortly before 3am.

The courtroom saw a video filmed from the patrol car as it pursued Khan into Bradford. The police helicopter also gave chase.

At one stage during the 15-minute chase, the vehicles clocked up 105mph.

Mr Nicholson said Khan did 70mph in a 30mph zone and 100mph in a 40mph limit.

He drove on the wrong side of the road and swerved into the patrol car.

On Parkside Road, Bradford, the police made "tactical contact" with the Seat which hit a wall.

Khan ran off but was arrested nearby.

Andrew Dallas, for Khan, said he had significant mental problems at the time. He was suffering paranoia, insomnia and depression but was now much better.

Khan's life had been in turmoil and he now realised how stupid he had been.

The judge, Recorder Christopher Knox, sentenced Khan to six months' imprisonment suspended for two years, with two years' supervision and 100 hours' unpaid work.

He was banned from driving for three years and ordered to pay £245 costs.

The judge said it was an "outrageous" piece of driving and Khan could have maimed or killed anyone in his path.
