France - The term goes, 'not all heroes wear capes.' This was certainly the case for a French motorcyclist, who dressed as Santa, successfully managed to chase and catch a driver after witnessing a hit and run incident. 

Witnessing the accident 

As he approached an intersection, the motorcyclist witnessed a driver in a Renault Clio, bumping into a pedestrian before proceeding to drive away.

He then took it upon himself to chase the culprit and on two occasions caught up with the Clio driver, urging the driver to stop. The driver drove away on both occasions before 'Santa' spotted authorities and alerted them to the car.

The hero of the incident goes by the name of Chris RS, and posted the video clip on his Youtube channel saying: "Well yes ... again a hit and run, I'm always there when there's action. It was a good day. 

"I put on my Santa costume for a new video. People were happy to see me dressed like that and say hello. 

"Like last time, I had to try to stop this person."
