This Is how the police stopped this bank robber on a motorcycle.

MOTORCYCLE VIDEO

It's said that he only received minor injuries

EDIT - Found another VIDEO

Silvy

For the dutch-impaired: a transcript in my bestest english:

"A spectacular ending to a hostage situation in Spain.
A drug-addict used a pistol and a handgrenade to hold 8 hostages in a bank.
In exchange for releasing the hostages, the man received a motorcycle. When the hostage-taker sped away at full speed, he was intercepted by an unmarked police car.

...

The hostage-taker was already getting up when police arrested him. He was then taken to the hospital."

Well... he was running a red light.

If you look closely I think the car had a green light. and was thus allowed to cross...
But yeah, in the US you could sue for something like that.

Justice. Swift and harsh, just how I like it (shame about the minor injuries bit).

Indeed.
Situation resolved, bad guy aprehended, not to much blood loss, not a single serious injury or casualty. What more could you want?

If you look, it seems like the police cars knew it was going to happen and were waiting on that to move in - very well done on the part of the police.

Wait, still looking..................................

Nope can't find it.

That's better than chasing his happy ass all over town, endangering everyone in the way.

The way the US should be, yet the justice system is full of pussies who are afraid to do whats right.

LOL. That sure was a hard hit. I wonder what the guy thought was going to happen? They were just going to clear a way for him and let him run away?

Exactly. Measured response. He held up and directly threatened the lives of 8 people for 12 hours.

Had they given chase, he would have endangered countless others in a high-speed chase that would eventually claim him anyway.

Bravo, Spain.

SiphonX

damn... he looked like a rag doll flying through the air like that...amazing he's not dead.

They could have just done it American Graffiti style and tied a chain to the back of the bike with lots of slack. Watch him take off and WHAM! face in the pavement. Better yet, tie it to the front of the bike so it would flip his ass.

Hey, he was stoned.. maybe he wouldn't notice the chain
