The suspect eventually bailed out of the truck in the area of Northeast 79th Street and 4th Avenue, Mendez said. There was a foot pursuit but the suspect wasn't found.
No officers were injured in the incident, Mendez said.
"The subject might be armed, so we take the precaution of letting everybody know, always secure your home, always secure your vehicles," Mendez said.
