    Presumably they call for patrol car backup?

    I am really fighting the urge to post a smart a** reply, however, as the urge has passed (for the moment) your answer is, a vehicle is called for. It then transports the arrested person to the station.

    There was a video doing the rounds of a gang of scobes throwing something like a light metal bar into the back wheel of a cycle cop's bike and him going flying off it.
    Not sure if it was real.

    No more than a Garda on foot patrol would give them a jockeyback...

    They radio for a car, obviously.

    Me and my skipper walked a violent prisoner next door to the station with his head nearly between his knees and his hands up in the air. People couldnt believe what they were seeing.

    Hunter164 your question has been answered.

    Call for a car/wagon, walk them back or drag them back. Whatever suits.
