10/18/07A suspected bank robber led police on a wild chase that began in Bucks County and ended with a crash in Northeast Philadelphia Wednesday evening. The incident began at about 5:00 p.m. at the Yardville National Bank on West Trenton Road in Morrisville. Police said the suspect entered the bank and handed a teller a note demanding money. The teller complied and the suspect fled the scene in an older model Honda. Bensalem Police initially chased the suspect and were eventually joined by Philadelphia Police as the suspect traveled at a high distance of speed down southbound I-95. Chopper 3 captured the scene as it went from I-95 to several main roads in Northeast Philadelphia, including Holme Avenue and Frankford Avenue. The suspect weaved in and out of traffic, endangering pedestrians and cars. The chase became extremely dangerous when the suspect was driving wildly around some of the busiest streets in Northeast Philadelphia. A police tow truck crashed into the front of the suspect’s car at the intersection of Cottman Avenue and Brous Avenue, ending the intense chase with a bang. After the crash, the street was covered with police cruisers as officers swarmed the suspect’s car, and dragged the suspect from his vehicle. The suspect was pinned to the ground and put in handcuffs. He emerged from the street with a bloody face before he was placed in the back of a police wagon.
