TULSA — The pursuit of a shooting with intent to kill suspect took a surprising twist when the suspect fell off of a bridge and tumbled to the ground some thirty feet below.
The Tulsa police department released video of the incident this week.
TPD says it happened April 30th of this year on the north leg of the inner dispersal loop downtown.
The officer commands him to “get on the ground,” and at that point Taylor either slips, or deliberately drops, to the ground below.
The suspect, identified as Damico Taylor, is seen hanging from the bridge in video from an officer's bodycam.
When the officer gets to him, he doesn't pull a weapon - rather, he pulls out rubber gloves and begins assessing the suspect's condition.
As of this writing, no charges have been filed yet in the case.
Police say Taylor suffered multiple injuries, but will recover.
