Police: Chase Suspect Was Stabbing Himself

FULLERTON, Calif. (AP) ―

Michael Satterfield, 37, of San Diego, was in critical but stable condition at St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood and investigators were at the hospital, police spokesman Sgt. Mike MacDonald said.

Because of his condition, Satterfield had not been formally booked but he could eventually be held for investigation of burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, evasion and injuring a police dog, MacDonald said.

The chase Tuesday night ended with the van crashing into a tree after being bumped by a police car. The scene recorded by a TV news helicopter overhead was shadowy and sometimes obscured by overhanging trees.

Officers sent a dog to the van before two officers finally approached. One pointed a gun at the occupants as the other smashed the driver's window with a baton, then pulled the door open as another officer and the dog were at the van's rear.
