Driver Captured After Police Pursuit Ends Near Downtown Baltimore

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A police pursuit through downtown Baltimore ended in a man being captured in rush hour traffic.

It ended a little before 6 p.m. after a foot pursuit and an arrest.

Police were following a Dodge Challenger as it exited off I-95 into downtown Baltimore onto MLK Boulevard.

The challenger got stuck in traffic and tried to maneuver through the cars, hitting several of them before crashing. The suspect, identified as 26-year-old Dominique Edward, then jumped out of the car to run from officers on foot.

An officer arrested Edward, without incident, a short distance away from the crash in an alley.

Edward was taken to the Central Booking Intake Facility where he was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, theft, and several traffic violations.
