Heart-pounding bodycam footage shows an Oklahoma cop jumping on the hood of a stranger’s car — and then clinging on while directing the driver to chase a suspect.
The daredevil Oklahoma City officer initially jumps out of his squad car to race after a 17-year-old suspect on a minibike when he spots the passing motorist and takes the risky decision to get a boost, the video obtained by KOCO shows.
“Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!” the officer yells as he runs up and jumps on the car hood. “Drive! Drive! Drive!”
His bodycam shows him hanging on the front of the car while pointing his fingers to help direct the driver, who floors it after the runaway biker.
Once close, the cop jumps off the car and tackles the teenager.
As backup arrives, the cop makes clear he couldn’t have done it without his unexpected — and shocked — helper.
“What an outstanding citizen — he gave me a ride,” the officer said of the unidentified driver who helped him.
The stranger remained at the scene to help, seemingly in awe at what cops are willing to do.
“So, that’s the kind of adrenaline y’all get to deal with?” the driver remarked.
The officer began pursuing two minibikes in the cruiser after seeing them driving without headlights and failing to stop at a stop sign in the Oklahoma capital, according to police.
The dangerous drama was all over the teen biker riding without headlights and then blasting through a stop sign, police said.
The biker was arrested for eluding a police officer, failure to maintain liability insurance, driving without a license, failure to use a safety signal, failure to stop at a stop sign and operating a minibike on a street.
