A motorcycle rider in Vietnam found out the hard way how unsupportive his friend was - after he ran from an accident leaving him to the mercy of police.<br /><br />The two youngsters were travelling together on the motorcycle when an eagle-eyed policeman tried to flag them down for not wearing helmets.<br /><br />Dashcam footage shows how the cop darted into the road waving his baton and blowing a whistle in front of a market in Bac Ninh on May 10.<br /><br />However, the rider appeared to ignore the demands and clattered into the officer causing him and his pillion passenger to fall to ground.<br /><br />Three reinforcements arrived and the lad was wrestled to the ground before being pulled away in a headlock.<br /><br />However, if he was hoping for moral support from his friend, he would have been sorely disappointed. <br /><br />The second boy, in grey top and red shorts, was seen dashing away down the street, leaving his friend to face the consequences.<br /><br />A motorist's car dashboard camera filmed the incident.<br /><br />They said "We were shocked, but it was a good thing that the police officer did not seem to be hurt by the accident.''<br /><br />The punishment in the country for riding without a helmet is between 100,000 - 200,000 Vietnamese dong. However, failing to stop for a policeman and then crashing into them is likely to result in a much stronger punishment.
