A driver who led Overland Park police on a car chase escaped on foot Saturday night as his passenger was arrested.
Police first attempted to stop the driver, whose identity has not been released, on a traffic violation near 61st Street and Metcalf Avenue. When the driver refused to stop, police pursued him into Kansas City, Missouri, where the chase ended at the intersection of Tracy Avenue and Admiral Boulevard.
A female passenger was arrested at the scene, but the driver fled on foot after an altercation in which a police officer was injured.
At the time of publication, he has not been arrested. A police dog is searching the neighborhood for the driver, who could face a charge of assault on a police officer.
This is a developing story.
