Watch As Robbery Suspect Walks on Power Lines in Attempt to Escape Police

A Phoenix man was taken into custody after an hour-long standoff that involved the suspect at one point standing on power lines.

Phoenix police say the man was wanted in an armed robbery incident that happened on an earlier day.

A man called the cops after he recognized the suspect walking on the street.

"He gave me eye contact, he said, 'What's Up?' And then he kept walking and I said, 'That's him,'" a man told FOX 10 Phoenix. "He stole my car at gunpoint yesterday."

The suspect got on top of an apartment roof and jumped from rooftop to rooftop to escape police who responded to the call.

At one point, he can be seen swinging from a large wire as well as standing on power lines.

The suspect later slid down another set of wires and then was shot by police with beanbag rounds and taken into custody.
