PITTSBURGH — A wild scene unfolded in Duquesne when a suspect being chased by police jumped out of his car at an intersection and left an officer with a split-second decision to make.
The officer was forced to stop the car from rolling into other cars and possibly homes.
"I think the officer made the correct decision," said Thomas Dunleavy, chief of the Duquesne Police Department. "If that vehicle would not have been stopped, it would have likely rolled down the hill or crashed into someone's car, causing damage to an innocent person."
