Police said the man’s wounds came from cuts he made with a razor blade, which he then threw into the water.
A 22-year-old man was hospitalized Sunday morning after leading Irvine police on a pursuit that ended when he boarded a random boat on Newport Beach’s Balboa Island.Initially, police responded to a report of “a suspicious man with blood on him” around 7 a.m. in the area of Rockefeller and Jamboree Road, where the 22-year-old was found inside a car. The man fled from police on Jamboree Road until the road ended in Newport Beach, near the harbor.
He then jumped into the water and took a kayak to a boat in the harbor, Irvine police spokesperson Kyle Oldoerp said. With the assistance of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department Harbor Patrol, the man was safely detained and taken to a hospital. It was determined that the blood on the man was from self-inflicted cutting wounds made with a razor blade, which he threw into the ocean, Oldoerp said.Dear Abby: My boyfriend missed his deadline to propose.
