A stolen ambulance led police on a chase from Taylor to Melvindale before crashing Monday night.

The Superior ambulance was empty without a patient inside when it was stolen from the parking lot of the Circle K on Telegraph according to Taylor police. 

One police officer was said to be injured in the arrest with the ambulance striking police cars at some point either during the chase or after a pit maneuver to end the pursuit.

Melvindale and Southgate police took part in the chase and there were no serious injuries. The suspect was arrested and taken by Southgate police.
