Everyone loves a good Hollywood blockbuster at times, and getting enthralled by a police chase can be a highlight of an action flick. But when it comes to real life, you can find yourself wondering if certain things ever actually happen, police commandeering a vehicle in the name of the law being one of them.
Well, in scenes that look like they could be ripped straight from the silver screen, Metropolitan Police officers appear to have commandeered two rental bicycles in a viral TikTok video. MyLondon reports social media users have been lapping up the film-like action sequence with some jokingly accusing them of "watching too many movies".
The video, posted by @garethfreiheit from beside the River Wandle in Merton, is captioned: "POV: The British police are in pursuit of a man cycling away with a stolen bottle of Hennessy." In the video we see two officers stop members of the public to take their bikes and chase after the thief who has already bolted.
