'I've got a full battery, you ain't going nowhere!' Moment birdwatcher on an e-scooter chases down 'bike thief' and takes back BMX
This is the moment a birdwatcher on an e-scooter chased a suspected bike thief through residential streets.
Point-of-view footage captured in Eugene, Oregon, by the birdwatcher called Nick, shows a man acting 'suspiciously' by the side of the street before taking off on a BMX.
Nick chases the man on his 40mph e-scooter along the sidewalk and road for nearly two minutes before managing to retrieve the bike.
During the clip, which is believed to have been filmed on July 20, Nick is looking around after hearing what he believes could be a family of crows.

The man, who is wearing an orange and white T-shirt and shorts, looks over his shoulder as he is chased
After driving into a parking lot he notices a man standing near a BMX bike by the side of the street and watches him intently.
Just seconds later, Nick spots the man taking off with the bike and shouts: 'I knew it!' before setting off in pursuit.
The BMX rider soon realises he is being chased and continues to look over his shoulder as Nick shouts: 'Stop!'
However the man claims that he is stealing the bike back and that it was his originally, telling the birdwatcher: 'It was my bike to begin with.'
The birdwatcher shouts: 'You stole that bike, stop' but the man refuses to stop and instead replies: 'Yes, I did that yes.'
As the chase continues, Nick warns the man: 'Just stop! You stole the bike. I got a full battery, you ain't going nowhere. You are also being filmed.'
Within seconds, the man crashes onto the ground and pushes the birdwatcher away before shouting: 'Get the f*** away from me.'
He then walks away from the scene as the birdwatcher retrieves the bike and shouts: 'It's not yours.'
Nick, who runs the website oregoncrow.com, later told viewers he had been watching the crows in the area when he noticed the unknown man acting 'super suspicious.'

He said: 'So super crazy video here I am about to share. I come into this parking lot because there's normally crows here.
'I'm into birdwatching especially with birds and ravens. They weren't here in this parking lot so I circled into it and I hear what could be a family of crows across the street.
'The reason I know it's them is because there's three adults and one baby crow and after a while of you get a pretty good ear for it.
'I just watch them for a little bit and then I realise some dude being super suspicious. Don't be suspicious.
'So I just hang out and I'm watching the crows and I start watching this guy and the next thing I know he does something I was kind of predicting. '
Following the scenes, social media users applauded the birdwatcher for his quick reaction.
