YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Dramatic new bodycam footage shows the moment a fleeing Michigan suspect leaps into the murky Kalamazoo River to evade cops after a minor traffic stop — and never resurfaces, according to police.

Kalamazoo cops said the unidentified suspect sped away from cops around 4:30 p.m. on New Year’s Day when they tried to pull him over on his motorcycle on a “license plate violation,” leading to a high-speed chase.

But the man’s luck ran out when his bike broke down, forcing the suspect — in a white T-shirt, dark slacks and white sneakers — to take off running through a local park and over a footbridge with cops on his heels.

That’s when he’s seen diving into the Kalamazoo, with officers yelling at him to stop as he starts trying to swim away.
