HARTFORD - Officers working a private job jumped into action after they witnessed an illegal dirt bike driver strike a pedestrian in a construction site Monday afternoon.
The officers gave the victim medical aid while other officers chased Nathaniel Dejesus, 19, of Hartford, on foot, police said.
Dejesus was taken into custody quickly and charged with multiple offenses including first-degree reckless endangerment, reckless driving, interfering with police and evading responsibility.
He is being held on $50,000 bond until his arraignment Tuesday in Hartford Superior Court.
"We take public safety seriously and do not chase dirt bikes," Hartford police said on their Facebook page.
"We are happy we could assist the victim and apprehend the suspect."
