This is the hilarious moment a hapless cop goes flying over his handlebars while chasing a crook.

The unfortunate officer went straight over the top as he turned a corner. Luckily, he managed to avoid a fullon faceplant and break his fall otherwise he could've been seriously injured.

The owner of the dashcam footage, who wishes to remain anonymous, today revealed it made her laugh so much she 'watched it over and over again'.

She said: "The first thing I saw was a guy riding really quickly across the road, and I thought 'oh he's going fast'.

"The red car in front of me stopped to let him go and then that's when the policeman did his flip.

"The policeman gave me a thumbs up and I realised he was alright when I first saw it I thought he was going to break his neck."
