The safety of Melbourne’s CBD is once again in the spotlight, after four teens drove an allegedly stolen car into the Bourke Street mall during a police pursuit.

A female pedestrian was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries after the chase, which began on the Eastern Freeway in Doncaster about 12.30pm on Monday, came to a dramatic end in front of lunchtime shoppers about half an hour later.

Witnesses saw the teens jump from the white BMW and flee into the nearby Emporium shopping centre before they were quickly rounded up by police.

Footage posted online shows the teens handcuffed on the ground, with the car sporting smashed front and rear windshields.

Police confirmed they arrested four teens, aged from 15 to 17, who are currently being interviewed.
