The incident took place around 1:45 p.m., Sunday, April 19, when state police responded to assist a state H.E.L.P. truck with a disabled vehicle on I-95 in the town of Harrison, said Trooper Tara McCormick.
When the trooper arrived on the scene, three people ran from the vehicle, climbed a fence, and fled on foot.
Two of the individuals who fled were located and detained during an organized search that included the Town of Harrison Police Department and Westchester County Police Department Aviation.
