STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Three men are in custody following a police pursuit through multiple Staten Island neighborhoods that ended with a car crashing into the woods and a brief manhunt.
Just before 8 p.m. Sunday night, cops were attempting to conduct a vehicle stop of a gray Range Rover near the entrance of the Goethals Bridge, a spokesman for the NYPD’s Deputy Commissioner of Public Information said.
The motorist operating the Range Rover allegedly fled the location, striking two police vehicles in the process, according to authorities.
The driver of the vehicle led police on a chase before the vehicle crashed into a wooded area near High Rock Park in Egbertville.
Neither the driver nor the two other suspects were identified by authorities. Police did not share if injuries occurred due to the incident.
Authorities shut down a section near Brielle Avenue and Manor Road in the Sea View neighborhood after the crash. Several police units were spotted searching through the area as an NYPD helicopter assisted.
Following the crash, police spent about 30 minutes searching for one of the individuals in the woods near High Rock Park, according to emergency radio transmissions.
The investigation remains active and ongoing, police said.
This is a developing story and more information will be posted when it becomes available.
