Southern California pursuit suspect clips police cruisers, drives on sidewalk

At least three people were arrested after a high-speed chase in San Bernardino County where the suspect driver hit two police cruisers and drove on the sidewalk during the pursuit last week, officials announced.

The Oct. 5 incident occurred as patrol officers with the Montclaire and Ontario police departments were in pursuit of at least three suspects in a stolen vehicle just after 9:30 p.m. when the chase entered Upland.

In footage of the chase released by police, the suspect is seen clipping two Upland police cruisers on Armstrong Way as he maneuvered around them, sideswiped nearly a half-dozen cars parked along the curb and then drove on the sidewalk and turned left on West 8 ^th Street to avoid officers.

The driver, who was being tracked by Ontario PD’s helicopter, pulled the vehicle into what appears to be a nearby apartment complex where the suspects attempted to flee on foot.

Body-worn camera footage from Upland officers shows the suspect trio taking off with officers running behind them.

“An Upland officer tackled the driver as other officers dealt with the passengers,” police said in a post to X , formerly Twitter.

The suspects were then turned over to Montclair police.
