Houston car chase: Harris County deputies tase a man evading arrest on 249 in northwest Houston
A man was evading deputy vehicles but came to a stop at a gas station on 249 after his tires gave out, deputies say.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A man was evading deputy vehicles early Sunday morning in northwest Houston.



The chase came to a stop at a nearby gas station on 249 east of Antoine when the driver's tires gave out.



Witnesses told ABC13 the driver erratically stopped at a gas station before running away.



"I went in (my) truck, locked the door in case he came towards me. That way he can't at least get in and take (my) truck and take off again." said eyewitness, Zee Mujakic.



At some point deputies caught up to the man and deployed a taser before making the arrest. We are working to find out more information about this pursuit.
