High-speed car chase: Police tackle suspect off van roof

Detroit - An attempted murder suspect of a high-speed chase on a Detroit highway was caught on the roof of a van following a lengthy pursuit.

 Fox2 reported that the chase began following a shooting that involved a female victim who was left in critical condition.

The driver was seen speeding along the highway before a flat tyre ended his escape. Upon stopping, the male proceeded to get out of his car, leap over a concrete barrier and attempted to cross the highway.

Running towards oncoming traffic, the man can be seen leaping onto the roof of a moving van. He is ultimately taken down by five officers.
