New video posted on social media shows a man on an electric bike driving recklessly while speeding away from a Fort Lauderdale Police officer.<\/p>\n
The video posted by Only in Broward shows the E-bike rider fleeing on Las Olas Boulevard on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The footage was captured by a camera attached to the rider’s helmet and shows him appearing to taunt the motorcycle officer who was trying to pull him over.<\/p>\n
At one point, the E-bike rider jumps onto the sidewalk near Southeast 25th Avenue and approaches a couple pushing a child in a stroller.<\/p>\n
Just a few feet behind the family, he jerks back onto Las Olas and into oncoming traffic.<\/p>\n
Separate surveillance footage showed the officer pulled over to stop him before he once again gives chase.<\/p>\n
And two cameras at the 7-Eleven near Southeast 16th Avenue showed the pursuit continue westbound more than a mile as the E-bike rider again goes into oncoming traffic to evade police, including a white police van that was also involved.<\/p>\n
In the end, the E-bike rider ended up in the neighborhood just north of Las Olas. He has yet to be arrested.<\/p>\n
Thankfully no one was injured during the incident.<\/p>\n
Fort Lauderdale Police officials said they’re aware of the video and looking into the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New video posted on social media shows a man on an electric bike driving recklessly while speeding away…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":178379,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[1009,249,251,250],"class_list":{"0":"post-178378","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-lauderdale","8":"tag-caught-on-camera","9":"tag-fort-lauderdale","10":"tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","11":"tag-fort-lauderdale-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178378"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178378\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
