This is the moment a wind-up merchant taunts police and starts giving them advice as an officer struggles to break down a door.<\/p>\n
The unidentified pest watched on as officers tried to gain access to a property on Union Road in Clapham, South West London in an apparent raid.<\/p>\n
However, the officers appeared to be having serious difficulties getting in, with the hardy door standing its ground against their battering ram – leading to some sarcastic advice from the amused onlooker.<\/p>\n
The video begins with four officers gathered around the property’s door in the dark – with a lone female officer hitting the door repeatedly with the Enforcer manual battering ram.<\/p>\n
The unnamed man watches on from the pavement as the officer fails to break through, cheekily saying: ‘Go on mate, a bit more power.<\/p>\n

A bit higher, where the lock is.’<\/p>\n The female officer, seemingly ticked off by her observer, stops hitting the door and turns round, saying: ‘Mate, mate.’<\/p>\n A male officer then approaches the watching man, asking: ‘Mate, do me a favour – go away.<\/p>\n ‘Go away. Mate, you’re of absolutely no use, go.’<\/p>\n The man backs off across the road, but remains undeterred, repeating: ‘A bit more higher, a bit more higher. Where the lock is. Oops, door’s not opening.’<\/p>\n The female officer appears to give up for a moment, ceasing her attempts to break through the stubborn door, but returns a moment later, taking another bash with the Enforcer.<\/p>\n The sarcastic onlooker continues to taunt, saying: ‘Yes officer, go on. A bit more power, a bit more, yes.’<\/p>\n The clip then cuts to what appears to be a few minutes later, with the onlooker now standing watching across a fence as the officers look to have given up on going in through the door.<\/p>\n They gather round the window to the property, with the female officer attempting to gain entrance by smashing the glass – whilst ignoring the advice of her persistent botherer.<\/p>\n He continues: ‘Try and hit the bottom lower of the window to open the handles – triple glazed.’<\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, the officers appeared to be having serious difficulties getting in, with the hardy door standing its ground against their battering ram – leading to some sarcastic advice from the amused onlooker<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The police then gather round the window to the property, with the female officer attempting to gain entrance by smashing the glass – whilst ignoring the advice of her persistent botherer<\/p>\n The officer then strikes at the glass repeatedly, which begins to shatter as the man cheekily eggs her on: ‘Yes, more power, more power, more power, that’s it.<\/p>\n The officer breaks through a layer of the glazing, to which the bloke chips in: ‘You’ve got another layer – bottom one. Open the bottom one and get the hatches.’<\/p>\n The officer finally breaks through and manages to grab the handles, opening the window and allowing the police entry as the man sarcastically repeats: ‘Perfect, perfect.’<\/p>\n The hilarious video was shared to social media yesterday with the caption: ‘At this point the person they’re after has escaped.’<\/p>\n The clip has since gained over 2,000 likes and more than 300 comments from social media users left in stitches at the man’s brazen commentary over the copper’s futile attempts.<\/p>\n One joked: ‘Imagine the person they’re after is the one taking the video.’<\/p>\n Another added: ‘Can someone explain to me why there are three men standing around this woman, including a big strong man, and a small woman is trying to break the door?’<\/p>\n A third said: ‘Why is there some 6ft 5 beefcake just watching as she fails miserably.’<\/p>\n Another quipped: ‘If I were the criminal, I would just open the door to save her the embarrassment.’<\/p>\n Metropolitan Police have been contacted for comment.<\/p>\n
