Biker Filmed Riding With Boy On Petrol Tank
Shocking footage of an off-road biker racing through Manchester with a three-year-old boy perched on the petrol tank has been released by police.
Ryan Ward, 23, was caught on a police helicopter camera riding the bike along busy streets with his young son - both without helmets.
He was also seen riding onto pavements and performing wheelies during the 16-minute journey.
PC Andy Moore, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "Ward was riding without regard for himself but more importantly the public and his young son.
"He showed a blatant disregard for the rules of the road and has rightly been sentenced for his foolish and reckless actions."
Ward was arrested as he pushed his bike along the road after dropping off his son.
Neighbourhood Inspector Ruth Bradley-Holt said: "Off-road motorbikes are a real nuisance to the police and local residents.
"Ward broke the law by riding an off-road bike in a public place but, to compound matters, the manner of his driving was appalling and he put the local community and even his own child at risk.
"We work very hard to address the concerns of local residents and that includes clamping down hard on those who misuse off road bikes and just last week we seized three vehicles that were being used illegally."
Ward, of Blackley, Manchester, has admitted charges of dangerous driving and child cruelty following the incident on June 5 last year.
He will be sentenced on November 22.
