A bicyclist led Campbell County police on a more than six-mile-long chase Tuesday afternoon on westbound Interstate 275 before being subdued by a Taser and arrested several counties into Northern Kentucky.

Campbell County dispatchers confirmed the unidentified bicyclist was reported biking on I-275 on the Ohio side of the Combs-Hehl Bridge. Highland Heights police attempted to make contact with the biker, who was described in radio dispatches as being "violent" and throwing objects at officials.

"Lt. Amber Conrad responded and attempted to speak with the subject, who got off the bike, started to flee on foot and became verbally combative," a news release stated.

Police said a Taser was then used to subdue the bicyclist, but he was able to get back on his bike and continue on westbound I-275.

This reportedly carried on for more than six miles and crossed into Kenton County before police apprehended the biker on westbound I-275 near the Kentucky Route 9, or AA Highway, overpass around 1:40 p.m.

The bicyclist was taken to St. Elizabeth Hospital, police said.

Ft. Thomas and Wilder police departments assisted Highland Heights in the pursuit, dispatch said.

On its traffic website, OhGo.com, the Ohio Department of Transportation described the event, which caused traffic delays, as an "unusual incident."

Additional information wasn't immediately provided.
