MINNEAPOLIS — Dashcam footage released by police shows the pursuit of an 8-year-old boy on a joyride in April, WCCO reported.

The Minnesota State Patrol shows the April 28 pursuit ending with a trooper blocking the driver in a residential driveway. The boy puts the car in reverse and hits the cruiser before parking.

The boy, dressed in his pajamas, then climbs out of his vehicle with a backpack. His 5-year-old sister and 3-year-old brother also step out of the vehicle.

The trooper returned all three to their foster family.

Police are still unsure of the boy’s motives or his destination.
