CINCINNATI (WLWT) — A police chase through the West Side early Tuesday morning ended with the driver abandoning the vehicle, according to Lt. Jerome Herring with the Cincinnati Police Department.
Police responded to reports of shots fired in Price Hill around midnight, before giving chase to a driver along Beekman Street who was suspected of being involved, Herring said.
No injuries were reported during the shooting incident.
The suspect drove through yards and crashed into a vehicle during the chase as police deployed stop sticks in an effort to stop the fleeing driver. Officers eventually called off the pursuit after losing sight of the vehicle, Herring said.
Hours later, around 2 a.m., officials managed to track down the vehicle, abandoned with a damaged rear end, at an apartment complex just over a mile from where the pursuit started along Westwood Northern Boulevard.
The vehicle has since been towed away from the scene. Cincinnati police are still working to identify and locate the male suspect.
