'Karate cop': NZ police take on bottle cap challenge

New Zealand police have taken on the bottle cap challenge - by taking it to the next level.

The social media craze, which has swept the world, requires people to roundhouse kick the cap off a bottle without knocking it over.

Auckland 'karate cop' Constable 'Krish' showed off his skills in one of the best videos yet.

Lining up the bottle cap, he unleashes a stunning spin-kick, sending the bottle cap flying into the air.

"Stay hydrated," he then tells viewers.

The video has won applause on social media from Kiwis who say it's the winner so far.

"Might have to rethink resisting my next arrest!" one person commented.

But this might not be the end of the bottle cap challenge for our police officers. They've also issued challenges to the New York Police Department, the London Metropolitan Police Service, New South Wales Police Force and Victoria Police.

"I can't wait to see the Aussies and NYPD give it a try!" another person wrote in anticipation.
