Those who saw the chase unfold said it was perhaps the craziest thing they'd ever seen on a city street. "We saw the bro pull out of the side street on the forkflift," said the stunned witness. We thought he was working but then we saw the cops chasing him and he sidestepped them on the forklift." After police managed to pull the teenager off the forklift, one officer had to jump on to the moving machine before it ploughed into parked vehicles.
