A woman was left crushed between two cars in a horrific road rage crash just yards from Buckingham Palace last night after getting out of her vehicle during a confrontation with a minicab driver who was then Tasered and arrested. 

Horrific footage shows the woman stooped over on the road while wedged between the two cars as police lead away a man in handcuffs, who is believed to be the taxi driver who ran into her. 

A man is seen gesturing angrily and stamping his feet before someone jumps into one of the cars – a light-blue Range Rover Evoque – and reverses to free the woman, who crumples to the ground in pain as onlookers rush to help her.

One man appears to be filming her on his phone as a policeman arrives to take control. 

The confrontation began at around 8.15pm and led to the woman stepping out onto the road before being hit by the other driver as he tried to get away, according to police. 

This caused a fight which ended with the man – who drove a black Mercedes – being Tasered and arrested for affray. 

The woman was taken to hospital by ambulance, where her condition is not yet known. 

A second man subsequently complained of feeling unwell and was also taken to hospital. It is not clear whether he was injured in the fight. 

Other pictures of the scene showed the black Mercedes positioned across one lane next to a double-decker bus.

‘She had got out of her car before being struck by the other car as it attempted to drive away. 

‘An altercation occurred after the collision and one man – no further details – was arrested at the scene on suspicion of affray. 

‘He has been taken into police custody after a Taser was discharged during the arrest.’
