Have-a-Go "hero"

just became one
was just cruising home as i normally do.. but then at the set of lights ahead of me, i see to figures running down the middle of the road towards me.. i slow down: wondering whats happening.
As i get closer i realise its a typical cops & robbers situation. BIB guy ( out of puff ) chasing chav crook ( less out of puff and will most likely outrun copper )
so i do what any (in)sane person would do, and i h'brake turn the car into his path... crook effortlessly hops over my bonnet.. lol
i reverse out of the way for the copper, but can see he's still loosing ground, so i turn and catch up to BIB tooting my horn, then lean over and open my passenger door wide.
BIB thinks for a moment, then turns and jumps in.
meanwhile chav crook has slowed slightly, maybe sensing victory
once BIB is seated, i bravely screech off after him ( just like on the bill ) after what surely felt like seconds, i was alongside the chav again valiantly screeching to a stop ( no abs.. brilliant )
BIB jumps out and wrestles chav to the ground...
i reverse 50yards or so back up the road to watch the rest of the show.
in the end i get a thumbs up.
great, one less scumbag on the streets, Midlanders can sleep easy tonight... i think i should get a costume!

only just happened, will check in the morning, but i doubt it, i was driving my old nail of a proton.
You where driving a 94bhp proton and you managed to catch up with him, I take it he wasn't still running when you got side by side? Nice one anyway
..you know how when you get caught up in the moment, things seem to go in slow motion? well this wasnt one of those times.. i WAS going in slow motion lol..
Ta very muchly
now just gotta wait for my car to be vandalised, never helps playing good Samaritan practically on your doorstep!

lol it wasnt a dream, you can call up oldbury police station and ask them if you like ( or whichever station is nearest to there i presume )
<Ringing tone,someone answers>PH Reporter: Hi is that Oldbury Police Station
Voice: Aye
PH Reporter: I'm calling from Pistonheads dot com, I understand that one of your officers arrested a suspect today and was aided by a member of the public
Voice: Aye
PH Reporter: Can you release more details on the incident?
Voice: Aye
PH Reporter: ...
PH Reporter: And?
Voice: Oh aye,let me see now, what was it? Oh yes PC Payne, he was chasing some bloke who'd mugged an old lady, I remember now, he was right narked, he was just on the verge of letting him get away when some do-gooder helped him catch the scrote, had to arrest him, missed out on his chip buttie and doughnut break, said the paperwork would take all night. Think they released him when he promised not to do it again. He got the license plate of the member of public though and we'll be in touch with him in due course concerning his reckless driving and unlawful kidnapping of a policeman.
PH Reporter: Thanks.
In 2005 i was sitting in a dead end with 3 mates having a little chat when we see some guy runing thru the alley , thought nothing bout it . 2 minutes later there was a loud knock on the window and a badge pressed against the window .
Usual fat copper out of breath asking for a lift to the other side of the park , all ok besides the fact car stank of high grade !! He got in and the look on his face was priceless , in the end I gave him a lift and he got out and ran in the park
