THIS STORY IS INSANE: A Houston Uber driver had TWO POLICE OFFICERS jump into his car during a foot chase and told him to GO after the fleeing suspect.
Anthony Baines was about to pick up a passenger when he saw a shirtless man sprinting through Houston's Heights neighborhood with officers chasing behind him.
Seconds later, the officers were inside his Uber. Baines' dashcam captured one urgently directing him after the suspect: "Go, go that way... go go go go go."
HPD says officers were trying to detain a man accused of threatening to shoot a woman and her children when he ran.
Baines drove the officers during the pursuit before helping get them back to their police vehicle. The suspect ultimately escaped.
Baines says he was glad to help.
The man signed up to drive Uber and somehow ended up assisting Houston cops in a police chase. Would you have done the same thing?
