MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- Shots rang when a chase along the Eastex Freeway came to a sudden stop before picking back up again Wednesday night.

Authorities also believe the suspect came in contact with citizens and are waiting for them to come forward.

In fear for his life, the deputy shot again. Despite the shots fired, the chase picked up again, and the suspect got back onto the Eastex Freeway. But he eventually crashed out.
Deputies approached the vehicle and saw the suspect cutting himself with a razor. Deputies acted quickly, stopping the suspect and taking him into custody as they put tourniquets on him
The suspect was taken to the hospital in stable condition.
The suspect's name is unknown at this time, as authorities said he had several IDs in his vehicle. They do know he's a Honduran national.
