DETROIT (WWJ) -- A man fled Michigan State Police in Detroit Monday night after officers attempted to gain access to him by breaking his car window.

MSP said troopers were dispatched at 11:30 p.m. to the southbound side of the Lodge Freeway to assess the situation of a car blocking a lane.


Upon making contact with the driver, troopers said they were unable to get the 19-year-old suspect to respond.

Since his car doors were all locked, officers has to break the window to gain access to the driver, but the suspect ended up driving away.
