MOUNT VERNON - A man was taken into custody by the Yonkers police this afternoon after a high speed chase ended in a spinout just off the Cross County Parkway.

Police captured the man, who jumped out of the car and attempted to run away.

Details of the arrest were not immediately available, but this is what Mount Vernon police Chief Joseph Pizzuti said is known:

Yonkers police attempted to stop a car in Yonkers near the Mount Vernon border, and the driver sped off east onto the Cross County Parkway at 12:02 p.m.

Yonkers police and Westchester County police chased the man, who exited the parkway at Exit 8 into Mount Vernon and spun out in the car. The man jumped out and ran but was captured on the 300 block of Claremont Avenue by Yonkers police.

No one was injured during the chase or the accident, Pizzuti said.

The car is registered to a Mount Vernon resident, police said.

Police were expected to give more details later.
