This exceedingly British police chase has gone viral, and it’ll be the best 45 seconds you have this weekend

We love a comical police chase in these parts.

So shoutout to Southampton copper George Arnott, who gave chase to a man named James McMurray, an alleged repeat shoplifter.

Bodycam footage of Arnott’s pursuit of McMurray has gone viral on social media – and if you have your sound up watching the clip, you’ll realise why.

Throughout the chase, Arnott shouts, “Oy Jimbo, you’re not getting away I’m on a leccie!”

A little while later, he follows up with, “McMurray stop! You’re being silly! You’re being a sausage!”

In a follow-up video, we see Arnott getting McMurray to the ground. As the suspect protests, saying he has asthma, Arnott shouts, “Well, you should’ve stopped then, shouldn’t you, you sausage!”
