Met Police chief Cressida Dick has revealed that at least two suspected moped thieves suffered broken bones as they were rammed by police cars.
She said that there has been 'at least one person' who has broken their arm' and another who has had 'some sort of break'.
The controversial method that sees officers use force to tip thieves off their mopeds and onto the ground has been criticised for being dangerous.
Miss Dick said: 'My officers make life and death decisions every day of the week, they're very accountable. They make best possible decisions. We are in a risk business.'
During the interview Cressida Dick (above) praised officers and said 'they couldn't be better trained.
The revelation comes at the same time that the Met chief warned that moped thieves should expect the force to 'come after' them, if they continue their tirade.
Scotland Yard was praised by Londoners last week after it released footage of its new 'tactical contact' method of catching scooter criminals.
Detectives explained they only use the technique - which involves tipping thieves onto the ground by driving into their bikes - when the riders become a danger to the public.
Miss Dick has said the force have had to put 'the fear back into the criminal' following the announcement that the Met has cut moped crime through tough new methods.
However Miss Dick's backing of the new measures come after Labour's Diane Abbott slammed the new measures as 'potentially very dangerous'.

Ms Abbott had tweeted her disdain for the new tactics and said that 'police are not above the law'.
The Labour frontbencher, who is MP for Hackney, a borough plagued by moped crime, waded into the debate four days after the police announcement.
Stats released earlier this year show her constituency has seen more than 3,000 moped-enabled crimes in the last five years.
During an interview on Channel 5 with Julian Druker, Miss Dick reveals she has been shocked at the level of crime across the capital.

According to Cressida Dick (pictured above) there has been 'at least one person' who has broken their arm' and another who has had 'some sort of break'.
'When I started on my first day there was a high level of this crime. I was shocked. And I said we must do more. We must improve. We are going to push this right down, not stand by. One of a multitude of tactics is to have more trained pursuit drivers in these areas.
'Relatively rarely during pursuits, the pursuit is brought to an end by a supremely well trained driver having assessed all the risks. We've had to put the fear back into the criminal.'
Miss Dick praised officers and said 'they couldn't be better trained.
Diane Abbott provoked anger online when she criticised the police's new methods of stopping moped thieves by knocking them over
Ms Abbott was responding to footage released by police of 'tactical contact' stop methods
'They've been risk assessing it. These are people who have been repeatedly left in no doubt whatsoever that there's a police car right behind them.
'If you look over your shoulder and drive on as fast as possible putting the public in danger, you should expect we will come after you and we have had a very small number of injuries.'
However, despite her harsh stance against moped crime she has admitted that she doesn't believe the UK should have a heavily armed' routinely armed police service.
She added: 'However... we have them patrolling, keeping London safe from terrorists, armed gangs and criminals every day. I have no intention of causing armed officers to be routinely walking around the suburbs, except when it might be really necessary.
'Often young people are friendly, approachable, so rest assured I'm not going to ask firearm officers to do more unless there's a reason to do it. Huge misunderstanding.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
