A chase within city limits began and ended within a few hours Thursday, Aug. 10, according to police.

The pursuit started around 9:10 a.m., according to Lt. Anthony Fatta. He told the Eagle at 10:45 a.m. that it had been terminated.

“There is no public risk,” he said. “We’re not releasing any more information as the investigation is ongoing.”

Robert O’Neill, chief of Butler City police, said the vehicle was recovered at about 1 p.m. on Thursday and had been stolen in Stowe Township, Allegheny County. As of Thursday at 3 p.m., no one had been arrested, he said.

Dispatchers said at 9:40 a.m. that no one was injured as a result of the pursuit, but that traffic incidents were reported.

Frank Aiello, who was driving on Main Street, said his car was sideswiped early in the pursuit.

After paying a visit to the Post Office at 345 South Main St., Aiello said he headed north to the intersection of Main and West Cunningham streets.

As he turned right onto West Cunningham Street, his Chevrolet Trax was hit on the driver’s side.

“I heard sirens,” he said. “The car came flying down (Main Street).”

Aiello was uninjured, but his driver’s side mirror was knocked off.

“I asked police officers after, ‘Did you catch the son-of-a-gun?’ They said they couldn’t speed after him on (Main Street),” Aiello said.

“I was kinda nervous, if I had gotten out of the car, I would’ve been killed.”
