Calgary police have charged a young man after he recklessly drove his motorcycle through city streets and posted it online.

In the video posted on YouTube last month, Elliot James Hayward aggressively confronts drivers, giving them the finger and at one point swerves dangerously close to a pedestrian.

The Calgary Sun reports the 25-year-old will appear in court for careless driving and faces six demerit points, a three-month license suspension, possible jail time and a maximum $2,000 fine.
