Police say an 11-year-old boy led officers on his second high-speed police chase in 13 months, this time after his mother took away a video game console.

Brooklyn police in suburban Cleveland say the Cleveland boy took off in his mother's SUV around 10:30pm Sunday after she went to bed.

Moments earlier, the mother took away the boy's PlayStation, Fox 8 TV reported.

After she went to bed, she noticed that the keys to her 2013 Dodge Durango went missing, according to the police report.

She then received a phone call from the boy's father saying that he saw his son driving the SUV on a local street.

The father then chased after the boy, who pulled into a local fire station in an attempt to hide, according to Cleveland.com.

When a local police officer noticed that someone had pulled into the fire station, he approached the vehicle to see if the driver needed help.

That's when the boy, according to police, sped down the street.

The chase ended about 30 minutes later when the boy crashed into a parked truck.

He was treated for minor injuries and taken to a juvenile detention center.

Authorities say he led police and the State Highway Patrol on a 100-mph chase last fall. 

No one was injured in that chase.

The boy, who was 10 at the time, was charged with felony fleeing and eluding after allegedly leading police and state troopers on a 45-mile pursuit that reached speeds of 100mph.

He later told authorities that he sped off with his mother's boyfriend's car because he was 'bored'. 

The boy took his mother's boyfriend's car from his Cleveland home and led police on a high-speed interstate pursuit that continued with state troopers chasing him on the Ohio Turnpike.

Dashcam video from the Ohio State Highway Patrol shows the car being driven into a ditch to avoid spike strips, and continuing on the opposite side of a metal barrier as the driver flees the officers.

The pursuit ended when a trooper nudged the car into a sign on a grassy berm and prevented it from returning to the roadway.

Officers raced to the car and demanded the boy roll down the window and get out, as seen on video.

He allegedly kicked at the troopers and spit on them off camera. 

The boy also told officer he stole the car because he was 'bored' while waiting for his sister to take him to school that morning.

His mother's boyfriend called police and his mother jumped in her car and followed him.

At one point, a trooper pulled up next to the boy and motioned for him to stop. The boy shook his head and sped up, police told the news outlet.

Shocked drivers also called police about the child driving at high speeds that topped 100mph.

The chase ended at 9.49am, about an hour after he took off. 

No one was injured in the incident and no other cars were damaged during the chase.

His mother told police that it was the second time her son took a family member's car for a joyride in two weeks.

The other incident took place on October 16, 2017. But he didn't get far because the car had three flat tires.
