When a Spanish bank robber traded his hostages for a motorbike, he thought it would give him an easy escape route. However, when the robber – who had held his hostages for 12 hours with a grenade – tried to escape, an unmarked police car ran him down, flipping him over twice before officers closed in to arrest him.

The incident was shown live on Spanish television.

Here it is, 48 seconds long.
It may seem excessive, but the guy did have a GRENADE.
