A police grappler stopped an alleged carjacking suspect during a highway chase in Las Vegas.

Footage shows officers pursuing the stolen sedan before the grappler wrapped around the rear wheel and forced it to stop on August 18.

The driver was identified as Vincent Farmer, 41, who was accused of taking his ex-girlfriend's car after pushing her out of the vehicle.

Police discovered he also had an outstanding warrant in Nye County for attempted murder.

Officers deployed the grappler - a device disguised as a bull bar that launches netting around a car's rear tire and axle - on Route 95 north of Kyle Canyon Road to bring the vehicle to a controlled stop.

Police said: ‘As you'll see in the video, the tool allowed our officers to bring this dangerous situation to a successful and peaceful resolution.'

Farmer remains in the Clark County Detention Centre, facing charges including robbery, grand larceny of a motor vehicle, domestic battery, battery on a protected person, and drug possession, in addition to the Nye County warrant.
