A west Australian police officer caught a suspect mid-swim after the man jumped into the water during a police chase. Police said the man had a "subject to return to prison warrant" and evaded several police units before taking his dive into Canning River last week. A police officer wasted no time going in after the 26-year-old man and apprehended him in the water. The whole ordeal was captured on helicopter camera footage. The man was taken into custody.
