We’ve seen suspects do Spider-Man moves to bail out of moving vehicles before, but this footage of a kidnapping suspect hitting the ground running from a moving Dodge Durango is still crazy. But it’s what comes next that really floored us.
Watch police PIT a stolen Dodge Challenger at 114 mph.
Police were chasing the Mopar SUV through Westland and into Inkster, just west of Detroit, after a call of a possible kidnapping came in. You see the surveillance footage from a house at a T-intersection in a residential neighborhood as the suspect vehicle comes along, multiple police cars trailing behind.
On one side of the crossroad is another police cruiser. Perhaps realizing he could no longer run in the vehicle, the driver just steps out of the Durango as it rolls toward the house’s front yard. Without skipping a beat the guy starts running, perhaps hoping the ditched vehicle acts as enough of a distraction to allow him to get away.
Fortunately, his plan didn’t work and officers chased him down on foot, placing the suspect under arrest, reports Fox 2 Detroit.
The most shocking part of the video comes after the Durango stops on the house’s front lawn. Two women, one in the front passenger seat and the other in the backseat, get out. One of them is sobbing, the other holding her hands up to show police she’s unarmed.
It’s obvious the women were the kidnapping victims who just went through a horrendous ordeal. Thankfully they survived. We hope they get the professional help they need to process what they went through, instead of letting this define the rest of their lives.
As for the suspect, we hope he never gets to use that bailing move to bail from another moving vehicle again. Men who prey on women like this should have the book thrown at them in court.
