Chopper 2 video shows a chaotic end to the pursuit: The suspects' vehicle, a Porsche, had a flat tire, and was driving on the rim with sparks flying. At least three men jumped out of the still-rolling car.
It was unclear how many suspects have been detained. A handgun has been found near the scene.
The owner of the stolen Porsche, Allen Bearden, talked with CBS 2 at a Chicago police station. He says his vehicle was taken from him at gunpoint around 1 p.m. Friday.
