A cyclist was stopped by police for jumping red lights, according to traffic officers.
Police said they say the cyclist did not stop for them when they attempted to get him to pull over.
After three failed police stops, the cyclist was stopped and changed with three offences - dangerous cycling, fail to stop and obstructing police.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police Traffic Unit said: “GMP traffic saw a cyclist riding past red lights in the city.
“Refusing to stop he believed we had no powers if he had no helmet on.
“After three failed police stops, we introduced him to Rugby as a new sport.
“Charged: Dangerous Cycling, Fail to stop. Obstruct Police.”
