Colorado police officers apprehended a motorcyclist who allegedly was performing reckless stunts and blocking traffic last month.
Pueblo police had spotted a group of motorcycle riders performing stunts in the street on July 19 after they had received calls from residents about them, KOAA-TV reports. An officer's dashboard camera footage captured a trio of motorcyclists popping wheelies and standing up on their bikes.
Police followed the bikers until they stopped at an intersection. That's when officers nabbed one of the motorcyclists, while the other two fled the scene.
"Performing stunts on public roads is illegal and poses serious risks, including life-altering injuries or death," the police warned in a social media post concerning the incident.
