Officers spotted the male acting suspiciously in Walsall Bus Station.
When approached the male tried to evade officers by bolting across the pedestrian crossing at the bus station but was caught within five steps. The arresting officer's bodycam captured the incident at 6.55pm on January 31.
The St Matthews Policing team shared a video today (Sunday) of what they branded "the shortest foot chase in policing history?"
The team posted on social media: "This is the moment one of our officers detained a male for a stop search.
"During this search the male was found to be in possession of a kitchen knife, he was then arrested, taken to custody and charged for the offence."
