The video showed dozens of police cars in pursuit of the stolen school bus. The chase lasted 13 miles.

2 Oklahoma jail employees accused of cruelty for forcing inmates to listen to 'Baby Shark' on repeat

The employees handcuffed at least four inmates and forced them to stand and listen to the song on repeat for hours.

Police say the boy intentionally tried to hit another driver in his path.

The high-speed pursuit came to an end when the bus slammed into a massive tree in the front yard of a home.

The boy was arrested on four charges including aggravated assault.

Remarkably, no one was hurt.

The child has been charged as a juvenile. Police are still trying to figure out how he got the keys and why he stole it.
