VicPD arrested a wanted man on Tuesday afternoon after he fled from police on foot.
Shortly after noon on June 15th, VicPD observed a wanted man riding a bicycle in the 100-block of Gorge Road East.
The suspect was wanted on several unendorsed warrants for breach of probation stemming from domestic violence incidents.
When officers stopped the man to advise him he was being arrested, he fled from police on his bicycle before leaving it behind to run away on foot.
Yes, this actually happened. We literally stopped the suspect in his tracks. I'd like to think we planned it this way but we didn't. #ASinkingFeeling https://t.co/Hf0ZEXrWPs

Officers chased the man on foot and followed him through a wooded area and onto the tidal flats of the Gorge Waterway.
The officers pursued the man until he surrendered knee-deep in mud.
The man was arrested without further incident.
The suspect was transported to VicPD cells where he was held in custody on the warrants.
VicPD are asking anyone with information to call them at (250) 995-7654.
