Officers from the Scarsdale Police Department responded to the intersection of Mamaroneck Road and Post Road shortly before 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday, May 27 to assist Westchester County Police in the investigation of a reported stolen vehicle.
Scarsdale and Westchester County Police attempted to stop the driver, who sped off on Post Road onto Rugby Lane.
“As the vehicle fled into the neighborhood from Post onto Rugby, I observed that the operator had an apparent wanton disregard for his safety or the safety of others,” the officer leading the initial pursuit said.
