David and Elizabeth Wills stopped by Cumbria and gave chase with an officer in the back.
Businessman Mr Wills, 43, from Lytham St Annes, Lancssaid: “The officers seemed shocked, one stood at the side of the road completely dazed. I said to the other: 'Get in, you're going to lose your car.'
“He got into the backseat and we followed the police car as it drove south along the M6 at around 120mph.
“We couldn't quite believe what was happening. Sometimes it was like we were in one Continue movie.
“When we arrived, this man beat the two police officers black and blue.
“One of the officers pulled out a can pepper spray but at last they sprayed all three, and they were all gasping for breath, and sorely affected.
“One officer managed to handcuff the man, but the other stood in the middle of the road, completely dazed.”
George escaped, but has now been in prison for fourteen months.
