When the officer got out of his car to approach the vehicle the driver of the Honda put his car into reverse and tried to strike the officer forcing him to jump onto the hood of his vehicle before fleeing.
The officer then attempted to catch up to the vehicle which also tried to run another police vehicle off the road near Grant Avenue and Academy Road before getting onto Interstate 95 northbound.
Philadelphia Police's helicopter was summoned and followed the vehicle as it got off onto State Road traveling at a high rate of speed and sped into Bensalem where it tried to run a Bensalem police vehicle off the road.
