this is *definitely* the wrong URL... (website is for the "Twin Cities", whatever they are, American in any case)

This appears to be the intended story, don't know if the intended source: https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/moment-coward-chased-brave-members-32129942

(it has one of those cookie consent things where you either buy a subscription or agree to cookies, so open in a private window (or just use Reader View if you're a firefox person))

Edit: regarding the story itself, it's curious how the police refer to the bike as an ebike, while it appears to be actually an electric motorbike based on the CCTV frame-grab in the article and the fact that the rider was jailed for over two years for "causing serious injury by dangerous driving, dangerous driving, driving with no licence or insurance". Is that a deliberate attempt by the old bill to smear ebikes or am I being overly cynical?
