Six teenage boys – five aged 14 and one aged 15 – fled from the vehicle, police allege.

The 14-year-old alleged driver was treated by paramedics at the scene and taken to Sydney Children’s Hospital in a stable condition.

The other passengers were also taken to hospital as a precaution.

Two boys were released from hospital on Sunday and taken to Mascot Police Station where they were each charged with one count of being carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner.

They will appear before a children’s court on August 4.
