WATCH: Homeless Man Stands in Front of Stolen Firetruck and Persuades Man to Give Up to Police
A homeless man helped police apprehend a man who had allegedly stolen a firetruck and taken it on a medium-speed chase through Southern California.
Orange County Fire Authority Captain Greg Barta told the media that the man had stolen fire engine 85 after firefighters had transported a patient to the UC-Irvine Medical Center at about 1:40 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
“As they were dropping off a patient at the hospital the truck was stolen,” Barta said, according to KTTV-TV.
The man drove the firetruck through many communities in Orange County, including the cities of Irvine and Fountain Valley. Police said no one was hurt, and he never drove at speeds above 40 miles per hour.
About an hour and a half later, police say a homeless man stopped the firetruck from moving by standing in front of it while they were ordering the driver to surrender.
