The footage was made public a day after authorities released still images of the suspect and asked anyone who could identify the man to call police.
According to authorities, the motorcycle officers were traveling southbound on Broadway around 3:25 p.m. June 12 when they spotted a group of people riding all-terrain vehicles in the opposite direction.
