The man drove away as police arrived, leading them on a chase over the Commodore Barry Bridge into New Jersey, then onto the Delaware Memorial Bridge into Delaware, and eventually back into Pennsylvania.

Police set up spike trips which resulted in all four of his tires to flatten, but the suspect continued onto I-95 and then the Blue Route.

Police say the man later sped down MacDade Boulevard before returning to his house.
