Police say the man stole the cruiser after shooting the officer who was driving it.
The man, who is black, appeared to resist black and white officers as he was led away in a choke hold and handcuffs. A news helicopter captured both the car chase and the capture of the suspect. The police department will conduct two internal affairs investigations into the incident, the mayor said. One will be a probe that is required whenever police officers fire their weapons. The other will examine the behavior of the officers while capturing the suspect, he said.
