Watch the moment a delivery cyclist whizzes through a red light ... right in front of the police

This is the moment a delivery rider brazenly cycles through a red light before dangerously weaving through trams and pedestrians.

The cyclist was slammed for showing a 'clear disregard for the law and other road users' during the city centre stunt.

Footage of the incident, which happened at 2pm on Tuesday, was posted on the GMP Traffic twitter page on Friday.

In the dash cam video, the patrol car is parked at traffic lights on Peter Street when the cyclist is seen whizzing past on the right.

A police officer on a motorbike then quickly speeds off after him, along with the patrol car.

Police caught up with the rider, and issued him with a traffic offence report.

The tweet, put up at 9.24am, said: "This delivery cyclist rode past three marked GMP motorcyclists and straight through the red light with trams and pedestrians crossing in the city centre on Tuesday.
