BREAKING NEWS: A police chase up Route 208 that began in Maywood this morning ended in Franklin Lakes with a crash and the arrest of a man wanted for a hammer attack in Teaneck.
The chase began after the driver — who was wanted on attempted murder charges in Teaneck — eluded a motor vehicle stop, a police official told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.
A Maywood police officer backed up by a Paramus colleague tried to stop the driver, who took off, he said.
It ended at Summit Avenue with no fewer than nine police vehicles converging on the scene, some of which headed east on the westbound side.
“The driver lost control and struck a tree,” one officer told CLIFFVIEW PILOT. “No one was injured.”
Police were processing the suspect and gathering details.
