Boston Police: Pursuit, Takedown, Arrest

Rare video of Boston Police pursuing a suspect, taking him down and arresting him. The first Boston Police car you see is responding the wrong way on Boylston Street and then turns left -- again the wrong way on a one-way street -- onto Berkeley Street. Another police car arrives on Berkeley Street and cuts off the suspect who is running. The quick-thinking police officer opens up his door, striking the suspect as he attempts to flee. The hit by the police car's door throws the suspect off balance and he falls to the ground just behind the police car. The officer runs around the cruiser and appears to punch the suspect a few times in order to subdue him and put him in handcuffs. Another Boston Police car arrives responding the wrong way on Boylston Street as do other police cars both marked and unmarked.
Note the completely blue lightbars of BPD.
BTW: That is not me yelling "Turn on your lights!"

I think Boston PD goes through a lot of brake pads on their cruisers, haha

[@FlyingMaxFr]

Congratulations, what an arrest ! that's pretty rare

[@jessejacobs2488]

Awesome catch, Boston has some of the finest police officers in the country

[@CobraEmergency]

Pretty cool rare catch - always fun seeing cops chase & tackle someone. Lovely smart cruisers as well, blue lights and livery.

[@jessejacobs2488]

Boston's finest. Great video!

[@tjobcorp]

Someone should tell that one cop to fix his other strobe in the reverse light

[@darbyblakeslee1]

Love your videos, keep up the great work, some of the videos stun me like this one, one guy and the cops just keep coming!!! 😎

[@aidangallagher606]

You don't see that everyday!

[@trishtrish101]

That's one police department you don't f**k with!!! Boston PD is by far one, if not, the best in the county!! #BPD

[@stevensilva1350]

[@adamdalmation1865]

amazing catch!:D

[@kyah117]

"Chanceux" (même si ce terme est peu adapté) d'avoir réussi à être au bon moment !

[@PFDChaseVids]

Damn that was awesome catch!

[@cfol1382]

Great catch, by you and BPD. I see the date published was in Feb 2014. No snow on ground and everyone in short sleeves. I take it this video is from a few months ago?

[@code3paris]

That's right, it was filmed in June, 2013. I put the date filmed at the end of the description of all my videos, which could be as much as 2 or 3 years prior to the publishing date.

[@cfol1382]

That's cool. Thanks for the info. I knew it was a few months ago just because there was no snow on the ground. Keep up the great work.

[@code3paris]

Christopher Foley Thank you and thanks for watching my videos.

[@JeeniusGaming]

this is some great footage ! one question pls, are you from germany maybe?

[@code3paris]

I'm from Beantown. :)

[@JeeniusGaming]

i was soooo sure i have seen some footage of yours about german emergency vehicles ;D

[@code3paris]

You may have, I have filmed in Hamburg.

[@JeeniusGaming]

ah nice! thx for your kind response and keep up the good work !

[@28weirdo]

+Code3Paris - emergency responses I have never seen your videos from Germany. Nice vid!

[@NCRP710]

0:24 if you listen closely, the cop sounds like the security guard from Subway Surfers.

[@stevendegrote]

Nice!!!

[@Preet13205]

Where are all the tree huggers screaming police brutality, and claiming this could have been solved with a hug and blow job? Anyways, beautiful take down, nice catch!

[@Fireman36140]

Des gros moyens comparé à nos villes françaises et j'adore les LED :) ça change de nos rampes gyroled merdura !

[@NickF14]

And splat!

[@jordangoddard9542]

Of to the slammer haha great vid

[@M-I]

First thing the cop does is to punch the guy... How I'm not surprised

[@panzerschreck5159]

+Da Gatu Well don't run and don't worry about getting punched

[@M-I]

Even if I don't think that one should run, I also don't agree with needles brutalization of the escaping suspect. Maybe I'm just a better human being that you are :)

[@Tactimbits]

+Agent Smith Ok then Robert Shapiro how would you subdue and detain the suspect then?

[@M-I]

With locks and other means one can learn from Judo or Brazilian Jiu jitsu and other such martial arts. And besides if you beat up someone on the ground you might end up triggering their "fight or flight" instincts where they will just go at you because they think they are in mortal danger. And statistically speaking if you are dealing with a cop in the US you are in quite a lot of danger. But also cops shouldn't beat people. No matter what the suspect did.

[@firstresponders363]

oh sorry sir didnt know you were a professional law enforcement officer with training. please excuse us as we tell all the police of the world how you would have handled it.

[@LuisSanchez-kd7ru]

Bpd is dangerous

[@codename617]

Yay BPD! I'm kinda surprised that that wasn't one of those pileup takedowns like on Cops. Good call.

[@code3_nypd]

How beautiful

[@busdriver21211]

Nice!

[@Coasterrider210]

and the curb gets the assist

[@allancarpentier6271]

Very good :-)

[@aran125]

Know what he was running for??

[@Th3Nob]

They should call for more backup! ^^

[@officialTheLStudios]

It's one guy. 3 officers + assistance on the way seems good enough for me.

[@DarkLink1996]

Lucky

[@LuisSanchez-kd7ru]
