Boykin's patrol car dash cam footage, which the department posted to Facebook, shows the fleeing car attempt to evade its pursuers by speeding through a series of alleys.

The suspect's car ends up airborne after speeding up an incline and is left smoking and disabled when the landing smashes its radiator.

The driver fled on foot, but police said they have identified the suspect.
