Criminals in Dubai ought to be shaking in their boots, as police in the Arab Emirate have introduced a flying motorbike.

A new video shows a Dubai police officer testing out the new hoverbike, which has rotors instead of wheels that allow it to fly.

The hoverbike, capable of flying 16ft above ground, is seen emblazoned with Dubai police emblems as it is tested for the cameras.

With the hoverbike, police could get to the middle of traffic jams, which would be difficult with a normal car or even a motorbike.
