This is not a video game you're watching, this is GTA 5 in real life. Watch as a man steals multiple cars in one hell of a police chase in Denver.

THIS is seriously INSANE.

Someone might have gotten a little too excited while playing Grand Theft Auto.

Suspected drug dealer Ryan Stone, 28, went on a wild rampage through Denver, terrorising motorists as police chased his vehicle in a super-speed pursuit.

It all began with the carjacking of an unlocked van at a petrol station — with a four-year-old child inside.

Stone eventually dumped that car for another by throwing the driver on the ground, then drove down the wrong side of a highway, smashed into the side of other cars, chucked two more people out of their vehicles and ignored police stops — even running down an officer.

The whole episode was filmed from a police chopper above, creating striking similarities to the video game Grand Theft Auto.

Afer smashing cars derby style, Stone finally flees on foot through snow.

His undoing? A fence blocking his final escape. Police pounce on the suspect.

Fortunately, no one was killed during Stone’s high-speed adventure. The injured officer is undergoing surgery in hospital and the young boy has been returned safely to his mother.
