The rider of a scrambler bike was in a "Mexican standoff" with police on Crosby beach.
Crowds gathered to watch and film the chaos unfold shortly after 7pm on Easter Monday as two police helicopters were seen circling overhead. The biker was seen riding up and down the beach "doing wheelies" as officers and coastguard and rescue volunteers gathered, with the incident continuing into the evening.
It came after police were called to reports of a group of men riding off road bikes on Mariners Road, Liverpool. They spotted the bikes on Queens Road and arrested two men on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and assisting an offender.
