WATCH: 'Disgusting' actions of bystanders after Police bike crash

THIS IS THE aftermath of a police motorcycle crash that has infuriated forces nationwide. 

After an officer was knocked from his bike during a pursuit in Coventry on Wednesday, a number of bystanders stood and filmed the incident rather than rushing to his aid.

'Absolutely disgusing' is how West Midlands Police Force Contact described their actions.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour.



If you have any information about this incident involving our @WMPRHRT @Trafficwmp friends please call 101.



For those filming our injured colleague...the difference between us & you is if you ever need our help in future, we will still respond. https://t.co/mPwcwtah8o

Luckily the officer escaped without any serious injuries and was discharged the same evening.

Thank you for the huge outpouring of support for our colleague after yesterday’s incident. He has no long lasting injuries and is recuperating at home. Anyone with any information on the stolen yellow off road bike being pursued please contact 101
