Too Short's attempt to run away frompolice during DUI arrest captured on video

Too Short  was a little too slow.

New video showing the rapper's DUI arrest in Hollywood early Wednesday captures the moment he tried to sprint from officers and make his getaway.

The "Blow the Whistle" rapper made it less than half a block before his arresting officers pinned him to the pavement, the grainy footage posted on TMZ.com confirms.

A police source previously told the Daily News that Too Short, born Todd Anthony Shaw, tripped and fell after trying to cut and run.

A parked police cruiser blocks the TMZ video's view of the tumble.

Too Short's manager defended the ill-fated attempt to flee, saying the performer was worried he wasn't getting a fair shake.

"In the past, Short, like many others, has been mistreated by law enforcement and the LAPD," manager David Weintraub said in a release. "These unfortunate prior incidents led to the complications after the stop."

The 46-year-old rapper was first arrested around 3 a.m. Wednesday for DUI.

He blew 0.09 on the Breathalyzer, his manager confirmed.

Authorities rebooked him for felony drug possession a few hours later after cops found narcotics that he allegedly tried to ditch in the back of a squad car.

The manager denied the drugs belonged to the platinum-selling artist, who's collaborated with Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G. and Snoop Dogg.

"Short categorically denies any drug involvement leading to the arrest," Weintraub said.

"Short was diligently searched and cuffed prior to being placed in the disgustingly filthy patrol car," he said. "The (cop) car was disgusting, smelled like vomit and was littered with remnants from prior arrests of the evening."

Besides, Weintraub added, "every rap fan knows Short (is) into weed!"
