When Police Officer, Matt Sulek, came up and started dancing with Tyler, a light-hearted dance battle quickly ensued. It was Officer Sulek, who had the idea of battling, saying:

“You’ve got some sweet dance moves, can we have a battle?” Tyler couldn’t believe what he was hearing, he told Inside Edition: “I was really shocked. I thought he was going to ask me a question so I was like, ‘wow, he wants to dance?'”

Tyler and Officer Sulek started in on the battle, both pulling out all the tricks they had for the unique show. With a crowd of car enthusiasts watching, Officer Sulek did some jaw-dropping moves, pretending to open up Tyler’s chest, and then throwing a bomb onto the ground.

Tyler responded with some Phenomenal dance moves, he glided his way up to the Policeman, before grabbing his hat off his head and placing it on his own. The crowd went crazy when Tyler put the police hat on his head, he shook his whole body in a wave-like motion.

Even Tyler had to give the Officer props for his stellar handstand, they both had some awesome moves though. Tyler told Inside Edition that he thought the Policeman won the battle, but I’m not too sure about that, I think he’s just being humble.

Personally, I’d have to give the battle to Tyler, Officer Sulek did an awesome job as well but Tyler absolutely kills it. His slow-motion moves are unreal, the way he speeds it back up while pop-and-locking is just out of this world.
