Woman bails out of vehicle and the driver stabs himself during a police pursuit

Dashboard camera video shows police officers chasing a car during a 50-minute pursuit last week from Northfield Village to Broadview Heights.

The chase began outside an apartment building late Tuesday in Northfield Village and passed through at least nine communities. A 33-year-old driver stabbed himself in the abdomen before officers took him into custody at the end of a standoff early Wednesday in Broadview Heights.

A 49-year-old passenger jumped out of the car when it slowed down in Twinsburg, the Northfield Village dashboard camera video shows. The woman was not seriously harmed.

The driver is believed to have been suicidal and on drugs during the chase
