Derbyshire cops brand motorcyclist "Borrowash's answer to Valentino Rossi" after footage shows him crashing into police car

Comical dash-cam video shows the yob hopping away after he ploughed his bike into the back of the police vehicle in Borrowash in the afternoon of Saturday, November 21.

Cheeky officers uploaded the footage and poked fun at the crook's attempted getaway branding him - "Borrowash's answer to Valentino Rossi on his little chicken chaser."

The bungling biker was arrested after he had failed to stop for traffic cops at around 1.20pm and led police on a chase along Nottingham Road.

Two police cars can be seen closing in, with one of them overtaking the off-road scrambler, which caused the biker to break sharply.

As he does so, the offender can be seen pulling a front wheelie - or endo - which causes him to rear-end the Derbyshire Constabulary vehicle.

The clearly injured man then tries to limp away after coming over the handlebars, before one officer shoves him into a ditch and arrests him at the scene.

The dramatic footage has since been viewed 4,500 times since it was uploaded to Twitter by Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit on Saturday.

Sarcastically comparing the yob to the MotoGP champion, the force put: "Borrowash's answer to Valentino Rossi on his little chicken chaser decides to fail to stop for us.

"We do pursue motorcycles as they present a danger to the public. Sorts himself out with an endo. No damage to our car.

"Sore ankle and a court date for him."

Web users were also quick to mock the crook with Leanne C putting: "I didnt laugh......honest."

Evilterry said: "So many highlights in this tweet! Particular kudos to 'chicken chaser' and giving a health update on the car before one on the perpetrator!"

Ben wrote: "Hilarious....especially with the nudge into the grass Verge at the end.......I had to say sit down everytime I watched it....which was loads!! Cracking work guys!!"

Dane added: "The embarrassment of that will haunt him far more than the court costs. His mates will rip him to bits."
