An unidentified man was in critical condition Thursday night after he fell down a large hillside in Brighton Heights while attempting to flee from Pittsburgh Police.

Police said they came upon the man, whom they described only as “a wanted suspect,” at about 7:20 p.m. while they were patrolling the area around the 3100 block of Brighton Road.

The suspect fled from officers, running up a set of stairs and through a wooded area, where he tumbled down a large hillside.

A police spokesman said the officers rendered aid to the injured man until medics arrived and transported him to a local hospital where he was listed in critical condition.

Allegheny County Police are investigating the incident.

No further details were immediately available Thursday night.
