Around 1 a.m. Sunday morning, police said they tried to pull over a car that appeared to have an equipment violation. After turning on their flashing lights and sirens, Bonsu reportedly didn’t stop, sparking a chase.
The video shows the driver at one point attempting to get out of his car and run from officers on foot. But he “forgot to put it in park,” police said, and got knocked over as the vehicle hit him.
“Our officers tried to pull a man over. He sped off, then got out of his car to escape, but forgot to put it in park,” the department said in the Facebook post. “Oops. He got hit by his own car.”
