EVERETT, MASS. (WHDH) - Police are searching for a suspect who ran away from a stolen vehicle near the Malden-Everett line on Wednesday, officials said.
Officers responding to a report of a stolen vehicle near the Malden-Everett line encountered a suspect who ditched the vehicle and fled the area on foot, prompting a chase, according to the Everett Police Department.
A lockdown was ordered at the Madeline English School but it has since been lifted.
In a post on Facebook, Everett police said their officers were assisting Malden police with a search for the suspect.
A state police helicopter and K9 units are also assisting in the search. Heavily-armed officers could be seen scouring the area on foot.
“I saw the policemen coming through my yard,” Ralph Sully said. “So, I’m like, ‘What’s going on with that?”
The stolen car crashed through Sully’s fence and he said he saw police tackle at least one person but also saw another person get out of the car and run in the opposite direction.
No additional information was immediately released.
