At the intersection of North-East Road and Nottage Terrace, the patrol grabbed the male rider, arresting him while he was waiting at the traffic lights.

A search of the arrest man's backpack uncovered a set of knuckle-dusters.

He has been refused police bail and will appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court later today.
