Police officers were in pursuit of a suspect on foot when they enlisted the help of a rideshare driver. The suspect had allegedly threatened to shoot a mother and her two children. The driver, Anthony Baines, was about to pick up a passenger when he saw the suspect, a shirtless man, being chased by two officers.

The officers asked Baines for a ride to pursue the suspect, who was reportedly very fast. Baines agreed, and the officers jumped into his vehicle. The incident was confirmed by the police department, and a video of the event is available.

Further details about the incident can be found through the Houston Police Department's confirmation and an interview with the driver.
