While getting ready for a typical patrol in Belltown and Downtown Seattle near the intersection of 1st Avenue and Pine Street, Seattle Superhero Phoenix Jones recognized a man he believed was wanted by the FBI regarding the vandalism of the old Federal Courthouse during the May Day riots.

The three hour chase was seen by fans watching on Phoenix Jones’ LIVE stream patrol video — a condensed video of the chase that started on Wednesday night into early Thursday morning is on YouTube.

According to the video and Jones, after seeing the man, Seattle Superhero Midnight Jack immediately called 9-1-1 and reported the man they believed was wanted by the FBI.

The man is seen wearing a Portland Trailblazers jacket and beanie at the :10 mark of the video.

While waiting for Seattle Police, the man notices Jones and jumps on the bus near the 7:10 mark in the video after doing some “modeling” for Jones’ cameraman near the 6:40 mark.

The man then taunts Jones and Midnight Jack out of the bus window as it was pulling away near the 7:30 mark of the video.

Jones and Midnight Jack followed the bus which led them to Capitol Hill near the 8:05 mark.

The man notices that Jones and Midnight Jack are still following him with the police on the phone and gets in a cab near the 10:55 mark of the video. Jones advises the cab driver not to take the man anywhere — the cab driver doesn’t take Jones’ advice.

Jones and Midnight Jack follow the cab on foot.

The cab driver drops the man off a couple blocks later after the cab driver learns the man has no money to pay for the trip near the 13:40 mark of the video.

The man gets out of the cab and runs right in to the police who then escort him in to the police station with Phoenix Jones and Midnight Jack standing right there.

Before being escorted in to the station, the man had some final words for Phoenix Jones and they don’t seem to be pleasant ones.

Seattle Police released the man an hour later.

Phoenix Jones was right, the FBI contacted the man shortly after the release.
