Bodycam footage shared by Queensland Police shows the man trying to ride away. He was stopped and detained by an officer on foot shortly afterwards.

A search of his belongings then allegedly uncovered a used pipe.

The man was charged with seven offences including one count of dangerous operation of a vehicle, assault of a police officer, driving an uninsured vehicle and possessing dangerous drugs.

He will face Brisbane Magistrates Court on August 6.
