It started with a domestic dispute Friday night at the Roosevelt Inn. When medics responded, they probably had no idea what would happen next. As Philadelphia Police Captain Sekou Kinebrew described, they were met by a man in his underwear.
Then, Kinebrew said, the man became combative and stole the ambulance.
"He started driving in the direction, in the medic unit, toward a police officer," said Kinebrew. That officer fired several shots at the ambulance, hitting the man twice in the leg and once in the side.
But he kept on rolling, slowly all over Northeast Philadelphia with a caravan of cops behind him. All of this was caught on camera from helicopters above. "It varied in speed from about 10 miles per hour up to about 25 miles per hour," said Kinebrew.
At one point, the suspect stopped and appeared as though he would give up, but he taunted police and kept going, again, with several accidents as he went along.
Eventually, police stopped him on Tolbut Street, where he was arrested and taken to a hospital to treat his gunshot wounds.
