A high-speed police chase on Columbus’ north side came to a dramatic end early Tuesday morning when officers arrested a suspect wanted for strangulation. The pursuit, which began at an undisclosed location, ended just after 3:30 a.m. near the intersection of Morse and Sinclair roads, directly across from the Ohio School for the Deaf.
Law enforcement officials confirmed that the suspect was taken into custody, though their identity has not yet been released. Officers also assured the public that the victim in the case is reported to be OK, though no further details were provided about the circumstances leading up to the strangulation charge.
Witnesses in the area described a heavy police presence as the chase came to a close. Authorities have yet to confirm if the suspect attempted to flee on foot or if any additional charges will be filed.
This latest incident underscores the dangers of high-speed pursuits, especially in residential and school-adjacent areas. Police continue to urge suspects to comply with law enforcement to avoid putting lives at risk.
Investigators are working to gather more details on the case, and further updates are expected. Anyone with information related to this incident is encouraged to contact Columbus police.
As crime continues to be a concern in the area, law enforcement remains committed to removing violent offenders from the streets and ensuring the safety of the community.
