Female driver of allegedly stolen Subaru 'tries to ram through gridlocked traffic' in Sydney's CBD before cops drag her from the vehicle

The driver of an allegedly stolen car was dramatically arrested after being dragged out of the vehicle by police officers.

Footage captured the 27-year-old woman ramming several cars in gridlocked traffic on King Street in Sydney's CBD on Monday, before cops leapt into action.

One of the cars that she rear-ended was a taxi that was taking a mother and her child to school. 

Two officers on foot chased the white Subaru as it continued to barge into surrounding vehicles. 

When the officers reached the car one could be heard screaming at the other to begin smashing in the car's passenger window with their baton. 

Smoke was pouring from the car's engine as they forced their way inside and dragged the woman onto the footpath where she lay screaming and moaning. 

NSW Police said the woman was a person of interest regarding a number of break and enter offences committed in Lilyfield earlier in the morning.

A spokesperson said that officers initially attempted to stop a the Subaru on Henley Marine Drive at Rodds Point about 11:15am before a pursuit was initiated. 

The car was allegedly one of the items stolen from a house at Lilyfield.

The woman was taken to Day Street Police station where officers said she will stay until they deem her fit to be interviewed.
