POLICE have released dramatic footage of the moment they arrested an alleged Bandidos bike at the weekend.
The footage shows officers chasing the man on foot after he fled from a car at Captain Cook Drive in Arundel.
As police close in, one officer wields a Taser before the man crashes to the ground before he is handcuffed and arrested.
The foot chase came after police deployed stingers to stop the man, who was driving a car they say was stolen.
On Saturday night around 8.20pm on Demand Ave in Arundel, police from Taskforce Maxima saw the man driving the car.
He allegedly attempted to evade the police before officers deployed the stingers, forcing him to stop on Captain Cook Drive.
He then fled the car, with police giving chase on foot before he was arrested at the intersection.
Police will allege that ecstasy tablets and various identification cards were found in the vehicle.
