A police chase took an unexpected turn when officers attempted to stop a fleeing vehicle using a tire deflation device — only to completely miss.
In footage shared online, officers can be seen preparing to throw the equipment across the road, but the timing was off and the suspect’s car sped past untouched. The moment left the officers visibly frustrated, some even throwing their hands up in disappointment.
The failed attempt quickly went viral, with viewers both laughing at the blunder and sympathizing with the officers. “They looked so devastated,” one commenter wrote, while another added: “Even the pros can have off days.”
Despite the slip-up, officials confirmed the suspect was later caught, but the video continues to circulate as one of the more awkward moments in recent police chase footage.
