VIDEO: Motorcyclist wheelies past police car and officers let him go

Police in Aberdeen say they decided not to pursue a reckless motorcyclist who did a wheelie while passing a marked police car on a busy road because “it would have created further risk to the public”.

A motorist recorded the outrageous South College Street stunt on a dashcam.

A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: “Officers were made aware of a motorcycle carrying out a ‘wheelie’ manoeuvre in the South College Street area of Aberdeen during the afternoon of August 6.

“It would have created further risk to the public to pursue the vehicle.”

The spokeswoman said the force is continuing to investigate the incident and asked for anyone with information to phone 101.
