Video: Police chase on WB I-94 in St. Clair Shores

Man arrested after chase on I-94, foot chase up embankment, final foot chase at hospital

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. – A man led St. Clair Shores police on a chase early Wednesday morning on westbound Interstate 94 north of 8 Mile Road and into Harper Woods.

Dashcam video of the chase shows a passenger jump out of the sport utility vehicle. The driver continued to flee until he drove up the freeway embankment, got out and and ran on foot. Officers followed on foot.

They set up a perimeter, called in a K-9 unit and found the driver in some bushes outside a business.

He refused to come out of the bushes and the dog was released. The dog helped officers take the man into custody.

It didn't end there.

Police took the man to St. John's Hospital to be treated for minor injuries he suffered from the dog. He was handcuffed while at the hospital but he managed to escape. There was a brief foot chase before officers finally controlled him.

Police say he is a 24-year-old Detroit man. He is expected to be arraigned on charges this week.

It's not clear if the passenger was taken into custody.
