The officer initially pulled back out of safety concerns but eventually caught up to the 21-year-old Jersey City motorcyclist after he exited onto Ridgewood Avenue early Saturday afternoon, Lt. Thomas Dowling said.
His 2009 Yamaha MC was impounded and he was released after receiving summonses for reckless driving, careless driving and driving without a license, registration or insurance.
A report that the driver topped 100 miles an hour couldn't be confirmed.
