This suspect’s attempt to escape the police went viral for one particular reason (wait for it!)
Ordinarily we wouldn’t bother you with video footage of a man running away for police after a drug bust in Manchester.
But this is no ordinary attempt to escape, it has to be said.
It’s police video which was broadcast on Sky News and spotted by Times man Tom Whipple who identified one particular aspect which sent it widly viral.
And it’s right up there with today’s funniest (and most painful) watches.
Absolutely the maddest fence climbing technique I've ever seen. https://t.co/KYeZMuSZMN

Very vulnerable genitals wearing that I would think.

Think that's the technique you go for when you don't want to catch your knackers

The sitting on the top method wasn’t available I think. Quite inventive given the circumstances – he'll go far.

I love how after the first vault he lays on the floor for a second evaluating his choices
