OAKLAND, CA — A 27-year-old domestic dispute suspect was arrested Tuesday morning after stealing a police car in Alameda and driving it to Oakland, where he barricaded himself in an empty building, according to a KTVU report.
Police did not immedietly release the man's identity, but said the incident began when the man apparently threatened someone and violated a restraining order in Alameda, according to the report.
Police responded to the incident, and the man ran away. But he later circled back, stole an Alameda police squad car and drove it to Oakland, where he ditched it near 10th Avenue and East 11th Street, according to the report.
The man then possibly jumped across rooftops in the area before barricading himself in a building, according to the report.
