This is the moment a Range Rover speeds along train tracks after two officers were left injured outside a railway station.

Footage posted on social media shows the car careering along the tracks at Cheshunt station in Hertfordshire.

Police confirmed the officers tried to speak to the driver of a suspected stolen vehicle outside the station on Thursday morning.

Additional video on social media appears to show a confrontation between police and the driver of the car. The vehicle then speeds off and onto the nearby train tracks.

The car was later found "abandoned" between Cheshunt and Waltham Cross railway stations.
