The Grand Tour cast SMASH through a shopping mall
Jeremy Clarkson shocked dozens of shoppers when he crashed though Dubai Mall in the United Arab Emirates in one of his wildest TV stunts to date.
Mr Clarkson was joined by his Grand Tour co-stars Richard Hammond and James May when he decided to smash the large military tank into the once most visited building in the world.
The shocking scene was recorded by dozens of locals, some of whom were terrified that the tank crash was a genuine accident or even a terror attack.
Is this Clarkson's most ambitious stunt to date?
Although a group of informed onlookers can be seen with mobile phones ready to record the crash, others can be seen fleeing in horror.
In the mobile clips, unsuspecting shoppers can be seen running for their lives as the tank crashed through the mall lobby, sending dust, smoke and bricks flying into the air.
Incredible footage from residents of the oil-rich Middle Eastern country also saw the tank drive along the city's luxurious boulevards with a police escort and camera crews.
