In gripping new video footage, police are seen apprehending a man suspected of e-bike theft on the Gold Coast.

Authorities claim the bike was taken on Friday morning while it was parked at the Currumbin Surf Life Saving Club by its owner.

The owner, a 46-year-old man, noticed his bike on Monday as it was being ridden down Marine Parade in Coolangatta, prompting him to alert the police.

A female police officer was able to approach the suspect closely enough to tackle him off the bike while he was still riding it.

After being tackled to the ground, the man got his finger stuck in the frame of the e-bike.
