Watch as cop sprints after suspect in manic chase before wrestling him to the ground

THIS is the manic moment a cop gave chase on foot after a suspect who attempted to flee.

The officer can be seen sprinting behind a man in a white tracksuit and trainers for at least 30 seconds before tackling him to the ground.

Footage shows the man dashing down a street before taking a right as the cop follows.

The pair then run across two roads without looking for oncoming traffic.

As the man tries to get away, he takes a quick look over his shoulder and realises the officer is closing in.

But he then swerves to the side of the street before appearing to trip and fall to the ground.

As he tries to get back up, the cop then attempts to wrestle him to the ground.

The pair are seen grappling together as the suspect desperately tries to cling to the metal railing to stay on his feet.

But the cop overpowers him and pins him to the ground before handcuffing him.

He then picks the suspect up off the ground before waiting for back up to arrive.

Another officer then helps haul the suspect into the patrol car as one more pulls up.

It is unclear why the man was arrested or where the footage was taken.

Social media users have hailed the officer's persistence in chasing down the suspect.

One said: "Massive credit and respect to that officer, not only chasing down the baddy but getting control of him single handed."

Another added: "Absolutely amazing! The police officer deserves a medal."

A third commented: "Fair play to the officer, fit and good skills – awesome arrest my friends."
