Surveillance cameras recorded the chase as Burch ran after them.
Another camera caught the moment she was pushed to the ground.
Mayor Burch said, "It was dangerous, but I had a sense he was a very young person, and that he wasn't expected to be chased, and if I hadn't chased after, I would not have been able to get the tag of the car."
