A group of builders have been filmed stopping cops from seizing a young man’s motorbike in the street.
A clip of the incident shows the passing brickies loading the lad’s vehicle onto their truck in front of speechless police officers.
The cops had reportedly pulled the rider over before asking him to dismount his bike so they could impound it.

The biker can be seen pleading with one officer as he watches his vehicle being taken away.
But before the cops can lift up the motorcycle, the brickies arrive.
Heated words are exchanged as several builders jump out of their own vehicle to confront the police in the Mexican capital Mexico City on 4 September.
The brickies then load the motorbike onto their own truck before driving off with the young man onboard.
The cops are left looking embarrassed on the roadside as the video comes to an end.

Lugo commented: “The patrol vehicle is not a tow truck for carrying vehicles, the police intended to do something else with that bike.”
Joaquin remarked: “You have to have your papers in order to avoid this.”
