It seems we have a new low-speed police chase leader.


Not to be outdone by either the LAPD's pursuit of OJ Simpson's white Bronco or a wimpy Long Beach police officer who chased down a Mercedes on a Segway, we seem to have a new title holder in the low-speed police chase category. The BBC reports that a couple of British "bobbies" flagged down a rickshaw pedaled by Ben Mathews. Mr Mathews took aboard the constables and a fellow rickshaw operator who hung onto the back and chased down a suspect who fled while being arrested.

I know its not the same as chasing down a Mercedes driven by a 13 year-old, but I'm still impressed by Mr. Mathews' leg strength and stamina.
