ANTIOCH, Calif. — The city of Antioch, California, has unveiled body camera footage capturing a dramatic police pursuit that erupted following an armed robbery. The situation intensified when an officer was dragged into the suspect’s escape vehicle.
The chaotic events unfolded on February 20, after officers were dispatched to a grocery store in response to reports of an armed robbery.
Surveillance footage reveals the suspect’s vehicle reversing forcefully, crashing into the store. It also captures the moment officers engaged with a suspect shortly after arriving at the scene.
In a previous incident, Antioch police reported that an officer had discharged a firearm at a Food Maxx robbery suspect while trapped inside the getaway car.
During the confrontation, one officer was involuntarily taken into the suspect’s car as it accelerated away, escalating into a high-stakes confrontation within the moving vehicle.
In audio captured on the body camera video, the officer can be heard warning the suspect, saying, “stop …stop the car or I will shoot you.”

The suspect can be heard saying, “I’m gonna go like 10 miles an hour,” and “put the gun down, I don’t trust you.”
After several warnings, the officer fired a shot, intentionally striking the suspect in the leg, police said. The suspect then crashed into a parked car.
Authorities said the suspect got out of the vehicle and attempted to run away, but was captured and arrested shortly afterward.
The officer was not injured.
