Moment on duty police dog handler in patrol car races four-year-old boy on his new motorbike after he was given it for Christmas
This is the adorable moment a young boy raced a real police car using his new toy police motorbike after Christmas.
In a video posted to Twitter by @PDBen1194, a Humberside Police dog handler, the four-year-old boy is seen testing out his new bike.
The police officer explained that her friend had bought her four-year-old son the toy motorbike as a Christmas present and had approached her to 'race' her son.
