Police officer borrows bike to chase dangerous driver who fled on foot The impromptu pursuit match ended in the motorist being arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving cycling
say that the driver, who initially accelerated away from officers before fleeing his car, was apprehended after a “quick-thinking PC” borrowed a bike from a local and set off in pursuit.
“Officers instructed the vehicle to pull over, but instead the occupant hit the accelerator and made off, travelling at high speed,” Northumbria Police. “We tracked the car’s movements before it soon came to a stop, and the occupant made off on foot. “This was a fantastic example of the public working with us to help disrupt and detect crime,” the police said.
“Thankfully, the officers showed superb skill and initiative not only during the pursuit itself, but also after the suspect had made off on foot. An excellent outcome for all involved.”
