Dramatic footage shows the moment a speeding motorcyclist pulled wheelies during a high-speed chase - before being knocked off his bike by cops.

Joe Onley, 23, was spotted riding recklessly by a passing police aircraft as he raced through the town of Hucknall, Notts., on April 15 last year.

Shocking footage shows him travelling at high speeds while pulling wheelies, spinning his rear tire and dangerously overtaking other vehicles.

Onley turned and sped away when he spotted a police car was following him before leading officers on a dangerous 20 mile chase.

Guided by the crew of the aircraft, officers finally caught up with him in the village of Kelham where he attempted a U-turn and mounted a pavement.

Footage from the aircraft shows him colliding with an unmarked police car sending him sprawling to the ground before he made an attempt to get away on foot.
