I'm just trailing, not pushing.
00:03
He just turned on to, uh,
00:05
he just made a right towards Ice Plant Hill.
00:15
Just turn left on the Broadway.
00:17
Again, not pursuing, just trailing.
00:26
Copy.
00:33
If anyone's monitoring, eventually he's going to hit Fifth Avenue, he's probably going to get out Woodmont down the Fifth Avenue.
00:39
That would be my guess.
00:46
10th.
00:47
We were on Fifth Avenue.
00:49
He passed us originally.
00:50
It's probably going 89 miles an hour.
00:53
And we never caught up close enough.
00:57
Yeah, he's just driving on Broadway.
00:59
He actually continues straight.
01:00
You're going to hit a dead end back here,
01:02
like by Playford Street and everything.
01:05
He's not flying.
01:06
He's not stopping for stop sign.
01:08
I'm just going to trail him.
01:09
Eventually he's going to hit a dead end here.
01:19
He went down Playford, I went down Sarah, I'm going to cut him off, keeping out where to go.
01:51
He came at me head-on, tore up the yard, and went back down Playford.
01:58
Copy.
02:11
It's going to be a black metal driver, black hat.
02:14
Short like little dreadlocks.
02:44
County, we're on Fifth Avenue.
02:46
Just put on the call that when we were on Broadway,
02:51
just prior to the bistro, he threw something out of the driver's window into the woods.
02:58
Copy.
03:41
Just let you know, we followed him up into Arlington.
03:44
He's blacked out in the neighborhood behind the police station.
03:48
He was too far ahead of me.
03:50
I wasn't pushing him.
03:51
It looks like he might have got back on 30, so we'll try some plate readers.
04:04
He advised he did tear up a yard and ran over some poles at the intersection of Playford and Sarah in East McKeesport.
04:11
I'm heading that way to check.
04:16
We're checking plate readers now.
04:18
He definitely hit Fifth Avenue at Hartman Street.

Copy. The plate started with a Z.

I was trying not to get ran over.

Black male driver, black ball cap, I want to say.
