Authorities are searching for a suspect who was intentionally ramming vehicles in a Pensacola Beach parking lot Sunday night.

According to Escambia County Sheriff's Office spokesman Deputy Jacob Holloway, officers were searching in the area of Ninth Avenue and Wright Street around 8:30 p.m.

Both Pensacola Police Department and ECSO are involved in the search. ECSO received a call around 8 p.m. Sunday night about the man, who was driving a vehicle and ramming into cars at a Pensacola Beach restaurant, though Holloway said police are not yet releasing information about the specifics of the incident.

The suspect then fled police and led them on a chase across the Pensacola Bay Bridge, before he left the car and ran on foot. Holloway said as of 8:30 p.m., police were still searching in the area using K-9 teams. Some roads in the area have been blocked.
