A police pursuit in southwest Oklahoma City took a dangerous turn on Thursday when a suspect allegedly threw a chunk of concrete at a patrol car during the chase. The incident, captured from above by a news helicopter, ended with the suspect being taken into custody.
Concrete Thrown at Patrol Car During Chase
According to reports, the pursuit was recorded by Bob Mills’ SkyNews9 helicopter, which showed the suspect stopping briefly, bending down, and picking up what appeared to be a broken piece of concrete.
The footage reportedly captured the suspect throwing the object directly at a marked police cruiser. Despite the risky act, no injuries were reported from the incident.
Arrest Near SW 107th and Western
The chase came to an end near SW 107th Street and South Western Avenue. Officers quickly moved in, detained the suspect, and secured the area.
Police temporarily cleared the roadway while they completed the arrest and began examining the patrol vehicle for any damage caused by the thrown concrete.
Dangerous Situation for Officers and Public
Throwing heavy objects at moving vehicles is considered extremely dangerous. Such actions can put police officers, other drivers, and nearby pedestrians at serious risk.
Incidents like this are treated seriously by law enforcement due to the potential for severe injury or accidents.
Similar Incidents in the Past
Oklahoma City has seen similar situations before. In a 2019 case reported by KFOR, a suspect was accused of repeatedly throwing concrete blocks at police vehicles.
That earlier case highlights why officers respond quickly and cautiously when suspects use objects as weapons during pursuits.
Investigation Still Ongoing
At the time of reporting, authorities had not released the suspect’s name or confirmed the charges he may face. It is also unclear if additional charges or arrests could follow as the investigation continues.
Officials are expected to provide updates once booking and court records become available.
Police Ask for Public Help
The Oklahoma City Police Department is asking anyone who witnessed the chase or has video footage to come forward.
Residents can contact the department’s non-emergency line or reach out to Crime Stoppers with any useful information. Authorities also remind drivers not to record incidents while driving and instead share information safely through official channels.
The Oklahoma City pursuit highlights how quickly a situation can become dangerous during police operations. While no injuries were reported, the act of throwing concrete at a patrol car could have had serious consequences.
With the suspect now in custody, investigators are working to determine the full details of the incident. Authorities continue to rely on public cooperation to help complete the investigation and ensure accountability.
