Shooter leads police in wild Brooklyn chase: NYPD

A weapons suspect led cops in a frenetic chase Sunday — stopping at traffic lights, driving the wrong way down a one-way street and attacking multiple vehicles — before being arrested, cops said.

The disturbing incident began around 12:20 a.m. at Atlantic and Pennsylvania Avenues in Cypress Hills, when police attempted to pull over a gray Dodge Ram with Georgia license plates, police said.

The officers were in the area because they had information a shooting could occur there, police sources said.

Trying to flee, the driver reversed his SUV and crashed into the unmarked squad car the officers were in, sources said.

The suspect then sped away, ran several red lights, collided with three other cars and drove the wrong way down a one-way street, cops said.

According to police, the vehicle was pulled over a half-mile at Liberty Avenue and Powell Street about 6 minutes after the start of the chase.

There were six people in the vehicle, the sources said.

Dominique Tombeau, 21, was in possession of a key to a locker in the vehicle where officers found a disfigured 0.9mm Taurus pistol, officers said. He was charged with criminal possession of a loaded firearm, reckless endangerment, criminal possession of a weapon and reckless driving, police officers said.

He has 15 prior arrests — four for gun offenses and three for resisting arrest, police sources said. He also has three robberies on his record, the sources said.

It was not clear if anyone else in the vehicle was charged.
