Motorbike thief chased down and kicked off

A man in the US has chased down a would-be thief and kicked him off a motorbike he was attempting to steal.

A stunt riding group under the Instagram account @samoan_bruce_wcc had one of their bikes hijacked, but cameraman @esoracco was having none of it, and brought the thief down – literally.

Esoracco jumped on another bike, his helmet Go Pro capturing the chase, and easily caught up to the thief.

In the footage, which was uploaded to YouTube yesterday, he can be seen kicking the tail section of the stolen bike, causing the thief to lose control and face plant into the pavement just in time for police to arrive and arrest him.

All the man had to say for himself as he was being pushed into the backseat of a patrol car was: “That’s what happens when you steal a bike.”
