A wild police chase<\/a> through San Francisco took a jaw-dropping turn when a suspected car thief ditched his vehicle on the Bay Bridge and climbed underneath the span, at times dangling from crossbeams high above the water in a desperate attempt to avoid arrest.<\/p>\n

The April 1 incident began after the San Francisco Police Department received a report of a stolen vehicle near 8th and Market streets. Officers quickly confirmed the car was stolen, and a police drone located it within minutes.<\/p>\n

When officers attempted to pull the driver over, he refused to stop \u2014 triggering a pursuit through city streets and onto the freeway.<\/p>\n

Authorities deployed spike strips, but the suspect maneuvered around them and kept going, leading police on a chase that lasted nearly 30 minutes before heading onto the Bay Bridge. California<\/a> Highway Patrol units then took over as the pursuit moved onto the span.<\/p>\n

The suspect eventually stopped near Treasure Island, but instead of surrendering, he got out and climbed over the edge of the bridge.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s on the crossbeams, under the bridge,” an officer could be heard saying on body camera video<\/a>, as a drone tracked the suspect below.<\/p>\n

Video shows the man straddling narrow beams under the bridge, suspended above the water and at one point, even dangling from the structure as he moved along the span.<\/p>\n

Officers noted he appeared to be heading eastbound toward one of the bridge towers while clinging to the beams.<\/p>\n

Multiple agencies rushed to the scene, including marine units, a fire boat, a CHP helicopter and additional drones<\/a>, all working to keep sight of the suspect. Crews began preparing for a possible rescue operation as the suspect continued moving beneath the bridge.<\/p>\n

Crisis Intervention and hostage negotiation teams were also called in, working to communicate with the suspect as he briefly hid inside a hollow support beam.<\/p>\n

After several tense minutes, the suspect climbed back onto the roadway<\/a> and was taken into custody without incident.<\/p>\n

SFPD Officer Robert Rueca told KTVU<\/a> that the suspect ultimately gave himself up and credited drone technology with helping officers track him safely throughout the ordeal.<\/p>\n

“The voters of San Francisco<\/a> have allowed us to use this technology to make the streets as safe as we can,” Rueca told the outlet.<\/p>\n

Police have not released the suspect\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
