Four HPD officers jumped into the water when the Mini Cooper went in, and that's when they saw the driver removing a toddler from the backseat.
A police chase on Houston's southeast side came to a wild end when officers had to jump into Sims Bayou to arrest a suspect and help save a small child who was in the backseat of the car.
Officers said they tried to stop the driver in the 10400 block of Randolph Street around 11:30 p.m. Sunday, but he kept going, sparking the chase. It only lasted about 10 minutes because the driver decided to cut through a field to get away from the officers, HPD said.Investigators said the car went into water about 15 feet deep near the 7900 block of Grove Ridge Drive.
The suspect faces felony evading charges and could also be charged with child endangerment. Police were working to learn if the man has legal custody of the child.
