Lancashire Police release hilarious footage of middle finger bandit falling off his bike in front of them

Lancashire Police have released footage of karma serving at its finest with the hilarious moment an 18-year-old boy falls off his bike after giving them the middle finger.

The footage which was captured on Preston New Road, Blackburn, in February shows the cheeky teen giving the finger to police travelling past him in the opposite direction to then topple over the blue car in front of him for not paying attention.

The ‘middle finger bandit’ was then taken into custody with a sore face.

A spokesperson for Lancashire Police joked: “When you crash at the same time as Windows.

“There’s nothing quite like the error of trying to give us the middle finger as you ride past us on your e-bike and then crashing into the traffic in front of you.

“Unfortunately for this rider, he was taken to custody with his face as sore as his pride when we arrested him at the roadside.”

He was later dealt with at court for driving without due care, driving without insurance, driving otherwise in accordance with a licence and driving without a helmet.

They added: “Of course, we’re not just sharing this with you for the laughs; this situation could’ve ended very differently and he could’ve seriously injured himself or another person.

“So, if you’re someone who thinks riding an e-bike illegally in this way is a good idea… Maybe think again?Need to report an e-bike? Call us on 101.”
