This is the moment a trio of alleged thieves on a motorbike are sent flying when they crash head-on into a beat-up patrol car that pulls out in front of them during a chase.

The incident took place on Tuesday in the locality of Jose Leon Suarez, in the partido of San Martin, in Buenos Aires, the Argentine capital and was recorded by a CCTV camera.

Local media report three thugs stole a red Yamaha Fz bike from a 31-year-old man, identified as Florentin Cabana Evaristo of Paraguayan nationality.
