A HILARIOUS video has been uploaded of a police officer walking into a signpost. 

The video, filmed on a dashcam by Merseyside Road's Policing Unit shows the moment a police officer walked into the signpost while talking to a colleague on a grass verge.

The officer then walks away from the signpost while adjusting his hat. 

Since it was uploaded on Twitter more than 145 people have retweeted the post.

The Tweet by the Road Policing Unit read: "I'm sorry officer, I didn't see the sign"... "It's ok, neither did I."

One person commented: "I love this twitter feed @MerPolChiefCon It reminds us that uniformed officers are the same as the rest of us - and do a tough job."

Although he suffered some embarrassment thankfully no real harm was done.

His colleagues confirmed: "He's fine, dented pride and will be a bit lighter in the wallet after his cake fine."
