Bodycam shows man attempt to escape police by jumping out the window and using a trampoline
By: A man has been caught on bodycam attempting a maneuver worthy of the Olympic gymnastics squad while allegedly escaping police officers with an arrest warrant.
Western Australian police raided the 38-year-old's Langford home in Perth's south-east at 5.40pm on July 9 when he made the enthusiastic escape attempt.
Police bodycam showed the man climbing out a bedroom window, running through the backyard, jumping on a trampoline and attempting to propel himself over the neighbor's fence.
His "ambitious" plan fell flat, as did the 38-year-old.
The footage shows the man falling headlong into the fence but continuing his alleged escape.
He was arrested by the pursuing officers a short distance from the home and charged with several offenses, including criminal damage for the destruction of two fence panels.
Online commentators applauded the man for his creative getaway attempt, with one saying "definitely a gold for that effort".
While another commented that he had "been watching too many cartoons".
