A 10-year-old boy has been arrested in Minneapolis for allegedly stealing a car and driving it recklessly near a school playground, coming within feet of striking children playing outside Nellie Stone Johnson School on September 20th.

The arrest, reported by Fox 9, was caught on surveillance footage showing the boy driving the stolen car back and forth near the school before dangerously veering onto the sidewalk. Miraculously, no children were injured.
