(Harrison, Oh.) - A multi-jurisdictional police pursuit took place on Saturday afternoon. 

Norwood Police initiated a traffic stop at Williams Avenue and Montgomery Road around 2:29 p.m. The vehicle involved was wanted in connection with felonious assault and weapons under disability warrants. 

The suspect vehicle traveled through multiple jurisdictions and into Indiana, before returning to Ohio. Upon reentering Ohio, the pursuit continued through Harrison Township.

During the pursuit, the suspect intentionally struck two marked units from the Cincinnati Police Department (CPD). A second CPD cruiser collided with the suspects on Lees Creek Road near New Biddinger Road, causing the cruiser to overturn onto its side.

A third CPD collided with the suspect vehicle, forcing the suspect vehicle into a tree, where the vehicle caught fire. One CPD officer sustained minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital for evaluation. The suspect, identified as Iesha Harris, was also transported to the hospital for evaluation.

Charges are pending through both CPD and Norwood Police.
