Officers in Atlanta pursue a transit bus across counties after responding to a dispute onboard, leading to a dramatic standoff.
A transit bus in Atlanta sparked a wild pursuit when it fled from officers responding to a dispute on board. The incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon near downtown Atlanta, as the bus sped through traffic, prompting police to chase it across county lines.
The chase, which lasted for some time, was captured by news helicopters. According to police, the incident began when officers were dispatched to a dispute on the bus around 4:30 p.m. Despite attempts by law enforcement to intercept the bus, it continued to evade them, at one point swerving into oncoming traffic.
Footage from the scene showed the bus colliding with several vehicles while officers followed closely behind. A police vehicle appeared to try to block the bus, but the suspect continued to drive recklessly.
The pursuit ended when the bus was finally stopped in DeKalb County, a neighbouring area, where police arrested an individual. Authorities have not confirmed whether there were any injuries, and further details are yet to be released by the Atlanta police.
