Philadelphia Police Chase Suspect for Car Detonation on City Street

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) – Philadelphia police have arrested a suspect who drove officers in a wild high-speed chase through the city streets following two car attacks on Friday night.

It happened around 8:40 p.m. on Broad Street and Erie Avenue.

Police say a delivery driver for City View Pizza was making a delivery with his wife and two children, ages 4 and 2, when the suspect got into the vehicle and took off with the family still inside.

Around 10:30 p.m., the family was found safe on 21st Street and Spring Garden, but police say the suspect abducted another vehicle and drove officers on a citywide chase.

Chopper 6 was over his head, while the suspect tried to get rid of the officers. At one point during the investigation, the suspect drove the officers right through the parking lot of the Philadelphia police headquarters on Race Street.

The suspect was arrested just after 11 pm in Franklin Square Park. He has not been identified.

No injuries were reported.
