Dubai cops will soon be able to fly after the police force began testing new hoverbikes.

The force, which has regularly been accused of brutality, will soon be even more feared on its patrols.

The bike can fly at a “safe altitude” of 5m, with a maximum speed of 60mph.

It's the creation of Hoversurf Official, which gushed that it has “achieved something truly amazing”.

“Over the last several years,” a company news release said, “Dubai and its police headquarters have integrated the newest technology from all areas of the world.

“They have rapidly become the hub for innovation, not only showcasing this technology but inserting it into everyday life.

“Throughout 2018 we concentrated deeply on the creation of our S3 2019 hoverbike, the most advanced hoverbike the world has ever seen.

“By combining our custom built flight controller, the most innovative composite material processes and having a dedicated team we were able to achieve something truly amazing.”
