HOUSTON (AP) - A male suspect being chased on foot by Houston police is dead after a patrol car ran over him in Wednesday.
The incident happened about 12:30 a.m. in a northwest Houston residential area just off T.C. Jester Boulevard and just north of West Little York Road.
Police Sgt. Rick Moreno says the man appeared to be under the influence of a drug and fled when he saw a police officer, who then chased him on foot.
Moreno says the officer in the patrol car meant to head the man off, but the man made an unexpected move and was run over and pinned. A tow truck had to be brought in to free his body.
Moreno says police don't know why the man fled.
