Watch the video online: Pepper spraying cops

Finnish police employed an unusual technique in an attempt to stop a motorcycle thief on the run.

The video shot from the helmet camera of the thief, shows him speeding off on the stolen dirt bike with the police in hot pursuit. As the rider continues to try and make his escape, the police van pulls up alongside him.

An officer then leans out the window and pepper sprays the rider in his face – as the two vehicles race at high speeds along the road. It’s scary stuff. To watch the video log on to: www.MoreBikes.co.uk and search ‘pepper’.
