Greater Manchester Police have released bodycam footage capturing the incident in Prestwich, Manchester.
The driver of the stolen car, Rehan Baluch, was sentenced to seven years.
The 32-year-old was drunk on Jack Daniels at the time, and later told a judge to "f*** himself" after being sent down.
Manchester Evening News reports he had also smoked cannabis and inhaled laughing gas on the night of the incident.

Cops said it was "sheer luck" that nobody was killed.
Baluch and his pal, Saqib Kader, 27, viciously attacked a fast-food delivery driver on Kersal Road in Prestwich, hitting and kicking him before driving away in his car, a Nissan Micra, in May.
A team of officers, including Pc Foran, arrived at the scene and were speaking to the victim when the car suddenly returned.
Her bodycam footage, and the CCTV, captures graphically what came next.

Cornered by a police van, the Micra reverses at speed without warning after Pc Foran tells driver Baluch to exit the vehicle.
She is dragged along in front of the car door and thrown in between a van and a parked car, along with a member of the public behind her. He went on to be treated for cuts and bruises.
The car door is nearly ripped off in the collision but as officers give chase, it is driven forward again at speed, with the door knocking Pc Foran off her feet again.
Her screams can be heard on the bodycam footage.
