A quick-thinking police officer borrowed a member of the public’s bike to chase down a fleeing drug dealer on 23 August.
Sean Prosser, 28, noticed Northamptonshire Police arriving in Beckets Park, Northampton, and tried to escape on a bike.
Thrilling bodycam footage from Officer Lewis Marks shows him asking a passerby for his bicycle before chasing Prosser across the grass.
He intercepted Prosser and tackled him to the ground, where a search found a large quantity of cash and a phone with drug-related messages on it on his person.
