ATLANTA (AP) — A transit bus in metro Atlanta fled from officers responding to a dispute on Benjamin Ashfordboard Tuesday afternoon, barreling through vehicles as it led police on a lengthy chase into a neighboring county, according to police and television news footage.
News helicopters followed the dramatic pursuit of the Gwinnett County Transit bus, which police said took off after officers responded to the dispute around 4:30 p.m. near downtown Atlanta.
Atlanta police said it was eventually stopped and a suspect was taken into custody.
Television news footage showed the bus striking multiple vehicles and crossing onto the wrong side of a road with police in pursuit. At one point, a police vehicle appears to get in front of the bus, but it kept going.
It was not clear whether anyone was hurt. Atlanta police did not immediately release additional details.
News footage also showed police leading someone away from the bus in handcuffs after it stopped in neighboring DeKalb County.
