Three-year-old filmed perched on fuel tank of motorbike as dad pulls wheelies

Shocking footage of a biker pulling high speed stunts on an off road motorbike as a three-year-old boy clings on has been released by police. Ryan Ward, 23, careered through the streets of north Manchester on the scrambler with the little boy.



The child, who was not wearing a helmet, is seen straddling the petrol tank as Ward performs wheelies. The bike veered on and off footpaths at speed during the 16-minute journey. The scenes were captured by a police helicopter which chased Ward from above.

Officers in the helicopter observed him weaving through the streets and kept colleagues on the ground updated. The child’s ordeal ended when Ward realised he was being watched and dropped him off. Ward then pushed the bike through the streets before being arrested.
