WEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - Two men are facing charges after leading police on a chase through Southwest Miami-Dade following an assault on an officer. According to officials, Eric Garcia and another man were in the area of Southwest 137th Avenue and the entrance of the Florida Turnpike when a Homestead Police officer tried to pull them over, at around 10 a.m., Tuesday. Investigators said one of the bikers sideswiped the squad car, and both men took off along Southwest 187th Avenue. 7News is waiting on the release of the other suspect’s name. Soon after fleeing, one of the men took a spill on a sharp turn onto the Turnpike, crashing his bike, and he was taken into custody near an off-ramp. Miami-Dade Police provided assistance. The officer involved pursued the second subject in a chase that lasted almost 20 minutes. The motorcyclist got off the Turnpike, winding his way up and down streets. When he finally decided to stop, 7Skyforce hovered above as the man parked his bike behind a Publix Supermarket at Southwest 137th Avenue and Eighth Street, in Southwest Miami-Dade, and took off on foot.
