Video: Delivery driver hailed as hero for tripping up suspect fleeing from police, all while keeping pizza order in his hands
MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, Pennsylvania --While out on a delivery, Tyler Morell with Cocco's Pizza in Aston helped police put a stop to a high-speed chase."A car just came up doing like 75, he beached on the side of this person's lawn and almost took out a couple of cars," recalled Morell.
According to Brookhaven police, just after 3:30 p.m., officers were chasing a stolen Kia from Upper Darby. Morell was able to stick his leg out enough to trip the suspect, causing the man to tumble to the ground, where police arrested him."He gave us the help we needed, by tripping him it gave us the time to catch up with the gentleman," said Brookhaven Police Chief Michael Vice.
Officers were also able to arrest a second suspect in this incident, who had been sitting in the stolen vehicle while the action went down.
