The PSP were called to a disturbance on the street in Viso, Porto when the man took his chance and jumped in to the empty police car and drove off.
The episode occurred at around 1am on Wednesday morning, when police were called to a disturbance caused by several drunk and disorderly people.
The police officers stopped their car and got out to deal with the situation. That's when one of the suspects, a 46 year old male, got into the police car and drove a few hundred metres down the road at high speed.
The apparently drunk man immediately returned to the scene, handed the car over to the PSP and said he was sorry. He was arrested and charged with theft.
Neither the vehicle, or the man, suffered or caused any type of damage.
