At 9:22 this morning dispatch received a request for assistance from the Massachusetts State Police. Troopers were involved in an active foot chase in the area of the Elmwood Park industrial area. The 28 year old suspect was being pursued for warrants and motor vehicle charges. Officers quickly responded and established a perimeter. Officers also went to the area of the Elmwood School which is located in walking distance from the industrial park. The school staff were advised and as a precaution students were instructed to move into the school building which is always locked.
A 911 report came into dispatch that the suspect had entered a building that houses a daycare facility and asked to use a phone. No access was gained to the daycare facility due to security measures that were already in place.
A 911 report then came in that the suspect had entered another commercial building. A perimeter was established around the building and a search of the building was conducted. At 9:36 the suspect was discovered hiding in a stall of the women's restroom. The man was taken into custody without incident and turned over to the Massachusetts State Police.
