Armed in the car - Wanted man flees and crashes - High-speed police chase ends in dramatic crash after suspect flees checkpoint

A 27-year-old man, wanted by police, sparked a high-speed chase in Hanau last Thursday. The suspect, whose name has not been released, attempted to evade authorities during a routine traffic stop. The chase began when the suspect, driving a car, sped away from a police checkpoint. Officers pursued, and the suspect, reaching high speeds, lost control of his vehicle. He crashed into two parked cars before his car flipped onto its roof. Despite suffering minor injuries, the suspect attempted to flee the scene on foot. Police apprehended him and discovered multiple weapons in his possession. This incident follows a related event involving a juvenile suspect who was detained after a knife attack on his father in Wächtersbach, near Hanau, the previous Thursday evening. The 27-year-old suspect, with an outstanding arrest warrant, is now in police custody. His actions led to a dangerous high-speed chase and a crash. Authorities are investigating the incident and the suspect's connection to the previous knife attack.
