— A man stole an ambulance and tried to run over an officer who shot him three times, leading to a low-speed chase through Philadelphia that lasted more than an hour Friday night, authorities said.
Authorities were called to a motel in northeast Philadelphia around 9:20 p.m. for reports of a domestic disturbance involving a man and a woman that necessitated medical attention for one or more parties, Staff Inspector Sekou Kinebrew of Philadelphia police said. The man became combative and jumped into the ambulance, driving at one of the officers who medics called for backup, Kinebrew said.

He must have been in a hurry to make it to the ER.
Smart guy there. If you decide to steal something after being shot, an ambulance really is the perfect choice.
did he find the one armed man??
Stolen amber lamps?
He should’ve took the drains that go to the dam waterfall. he could’ve jumped and escaped.
I watched that “chase”. One of the more amusing ones, especially when the tow truck tried to get involved and got swatted like a fly. He forgot the law of gross tonnage.
Usually it’s the lawyers not the cops who are the “ambulance chasers.”
