During the pursuit across the Bay Bridge and into the East Bay, the suspect threw an unknown object at officers through the car window, KGO-TV reported. Police described the tossed item as "suspicious devices."
The suspect set off a pipe bomb in the 1500 block of Jones Street and ignited a "molotov cocktail" on 8th Street between Market and Mission, city supervisor Aaron Peskin, who was briefed on the incident, told The San Francisco Standard.
The pursuit continued onto the freeway, where California Highway Patrol units took over and eventually arrested the suspect.
A spokesperson for CHP told KGO-TV that the suspect did not throw anything from their car after the agency took over the pursuit. However, CHP did discover items inside the suspect's vehicle during the arrest.
