A crazy, high-stakes cat and mouse game was played last week at Tallebudgera Creek, where a man regularly evaded authorities for nearly three hours, even after being tased, in a turbulent water chase that has since received millions of views.
Taser? No issue. Ocean? His exit strategy.
When police and paramedics responded to reports of a man acting strangely in the water around 10 am ( local time ), the drama started. The 31-year-old fought back by punching soldiers on the beach before taking a tear for the river, but he didn’t cooperate.
A TikTok tape with over six million views has been filmed in which the gentleman dodges weapons like a pro and backpedals away from the police. He shrugged it off and plunged into the water, leaving startled officials searching for a different course of action after being hit.
The ultimate aquatic getaway
Officers used a jet skiing to fend off him once they were in the river. However, as officers attempted to cattle him back to shore, he zigzagged like an Olympic swimmer, avoiding record. He eventually made a point of reaching for the jet skiing, which then sped away, giving the fight a complete show.
Beachgoers huddled in amazement as the man climbed onto a search lifesaving craft, which officers handcuffed him in knee-deep waters at around 1 p.m., according to 9News.
What it means to be arrested in Australia, read the text on the popular TikTok.
One person wrote in the video,” Running into a body of water while getting tased is crazy.”
” He didn’t feel a thing about the weapon,” he said. anyone else posed a question.
Someone else said,” I’d like to know the background to this.”
What comes future?
The man is scheduled to appear in Coolangatta Magistrates Court on March 24 and is facing two counts of major assault on a police agent.
One of Australia’s most outrageous arrests has been processed by the internet, but I’m still curious whether that “water escape” strategy may be remembered in history.
