A driver helped Ferndale police catch a fleeing suspect Friday night by purposely crashing head-on into the suspect’s vehicle, leading to his arrest. The suspect was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, possession of narcotics, third-degree fleeing and eluding, and driving with a suspended license. It happened around 9:30 p.m. Friday. While performing random checks on license plates out on patrol, a Ferndale officer discovered a vehicle owner was wanted on traffic warrants and his license had suspensions. The officer attempted to stop the suspect in a Chevy vehicle on eastbound 8 Mile Road near Livernois when the suspect took off. The suspect, accompanied by a passenger, sped on 8 Mile under he reached Woodward. There, a red light had the traffic ahead of him stopped and blocking his escape. He then proceeded to drive over the sidewalk, across an open area, then back onto Woodward. He fled south at around 80 mph.
As more patrol cars joined the chase, the suspect entered a bus terminal near State Fair, then came back out onto Woodward and fled northbound. The suspect then turned east into a shopping center parking lot near Woodward and 8 Mile. That’s when a man leaving the parking lot in his van spotted the suspect attempting to flee, and ran head-on into the suspect’s vehicle to stop him. The crash successfully stopped the suspect’s car, and the van ended up positioned against the suspect’s driver-side door, which stopped him from escaping. Police took the suspect and the passenger into custody, and recovered from the vehicle a stolen handgun with a 30-round magazine and 10 bindles of heroin. The gun had been reported stolen in Detroit. The suspect was arraigned by Ferndale 43rd District Magistrate Kim Wilson and his bond set at $85,000 cash surety.

fucking idiot!
This dude was like, "I have been waiting for this moment my entire life!"
White supremacists be like he was one of our guy with a black mask…. WAKE UP!!
Dude in the van looked like he was ready to draw on the suspect.
😂bet the driver wasnt armed he was just acting like he was
"Don't you fucking move bitch!". Come on. Who hadn't had this kind of fantasy at some point.
That was pretty quick thinking by the good samaritan.
0:22 I’m sorry but I’m pointing out that cars reaction skills to avoid that driver!
Idk if he helped, maybe he tried to avoid hitting at first, since the suspect was driving in the wrong lane!
We don’t do crimes
We don’t shoot people to death
We don’t rob people/gas stations at gunpoint
We don’t stab people
It's reassuring to know that dirtbags like this wanna be rapstar get a nice rough ride to the can…thats lovely, makes me sleep well at night.
People should stop trying to be heroes . mind ur own buisness.
This nicca thought maybe there was a Reward for Capture
que alguien le de una medalla a este tipo
Good ole Detroit suburbs right off 8 mile and Woodward…
They forgot to suplex him 🤣🤣
The man is definitely going to jail
That's something I would totally do! Lol 😂 Awesome citizen assist!
It may suck that the van's driver don't get any coverage or damage compensation, but I giga-rather stop that crook for doing more "thug" stuff furthermore, and/or possible hurt/kill someone.
I hope this good samaritan's repairs were covered, without hitting his own insurance. Whilst it wasn't his job to aide the police, he certainly did help them to stop the suspect, potentially stopping him from hurting women, children or elderly in the carpark.
That guy was a goddamn hero! Well done!
I think he was just trying to turn and got caught up in the mix.. either way good job
Oh these college bound kids….
8 mile!
Or no?
They shoulda Rotnee Kinged his ass
Wait he was black?
Sweet Justice
Free candy everyone. You sir! U look like u need a candy 0:24
0:36. Did the cop say "Good Job!" or "Back Up!"???
Sometimes we need cops
Sometimes cops need us
Mad respect for the guy who was willing to damage his own car to help the cops
Please like this comment so it gets to the top. The guy in the van didn't purposely hit the fleeing car, he was trying to avoid it because it was in his lane and they ended up turning into each other. The van guy is no hero citizen like the title implies.
good black man vs wrong black men.
DDDD
little do they know…buffalo bill is the driver of that van picking up lotion form the mall
Anyone asking why the guy driving the van didn't get shot was because he was doing the right
Why so noice
What a moron. Insurance isn’t going to cover that and he’s liable for any injuries and damages
black lives matter lol
The van owner is Arab nationality from Yamen.
What a brave guy!
No Brasil, o cidadão bateria no carro da polÃcia….
Too bad the occupants didn’t fly through their windshield, decapitated.
The driver of the fleeing vehicle black impala cracks me up, shouting like a bitch. Driver is a fucken weak ass bitch.
Glad no innocent by stander was struck but also Good job creating a law suit . I can already see it "My neck is hurting" because some dumb civilian deliberately drove into him.
That guy just screwed up his van. Cops might not be to happy did that but I get it.
Smh.. you have a family at home let it be. You dont make it home was it worth it..??? Stupid.
Like don't get me wrong here, pretty brave of that dude to do this BUT I don't get why he did he. He propably will have to pay the damage himself and it didn't look like the police wouldn't be able to catch that guy. His car was fucked already and they were right on his ass so why ram straight into him then?
Good job guy in van..good job
White supremacists be like he was one of our guy with a black mask…. WAKE UP!!
