While Bertram was being escorted to the police car, he took off. He ran through a neighborhood, across lanes of highway traffic and onto the Brooks Bridge, the Daily News reported.

"He then jumped off the bridge and to the ground, approximately 7 to 8 feet below," police said.

But even that didn’t stop Bertram. Officers had to use their Taser twice before he was captured, the Daily News reported.

Bertram was charged with providing a false name while lawfully detained, shoplifting and resisting an officer without violence.
