A crew of brazen graffiti artists on an Atlanta highway were caught red-handed by a responding officer — who captured one of the men after his cohorts abandoned him, video shows.
The hilarious footage captured the four troublemakers darting along an elevated part of the shoulder of the Downtown Connector, which runs through the core of the Georgia city, after noticing a police cruiser pull up on Wednesday.
The group fled in a single file line along the interstate wall until the cop car caught up with them.
At that point, three of the vandals simultaneously turned around and darted the opposite way, against the direction of traffic and the pursuing car, hanging the one man out to dry.
The lone artist turned back upon reaching the end of the wall to realize his pals had vanished, but opted to continue running along the highway, even after the officer jumped out of his cruiser and chased after him on foot.
The tired spray-painter was finally caught shortly after tripping over another median he tried to jump over.
The suspect — who police only identified as a 33-year-old man — was charged with walking upon a controlled access highway, graffiti abatement and disorderly conduct, Atlanta cops confirmed.
His traitorous buddies are still on the lam.
