A 20-year-old man has been arrested after he was spotted performing a mono on a trail bike later found to be stolen.
Brimbank Highway Patrol members were out on patrol last night when they witnessed the rider perform a mono in front of them at the McIntyre Road entry to the Western Ring Road shortly before 11.30 pm.
They then watched as the rider allegedly reached speeds of 130 km/h on the Western Ring Road.
Officers attempted to intercept the rider on Pascoe Vale Road, however he failed to stop.
According to police, the 20-year-old found himself in difficulty when he attempted to cross railway tracks near Coleraine Street – bordering Dallas and Broadmeadows – and became stuck.
He dumped the bike and attempted to flee on foot but was quickly arrested.
A check of the motorbike registration revealed it was reported as stolen.
The Pakenham man will be interviewed in relation to traffic and vehicle theft offences.
