A four-county car chase involving police and a suspect in a Rockland County attempted murder has resulted in the arrest of the man on I-84 near the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge.

Forty-six-year-old Todd Humphrey is in the custody of the Clarkstown Police Department after the widespread pursuit. He has been described by police as a murder suspect.

Clarkstown Police said Humphrey allegedly assaulted his girlfriend with a hammer at the Tappan Zee hotel. The victim was able to escape the room and get the attention of a hotel staffer who dialed 911.

When police got to the scene, Humphrey was gone. An alert was sent out to all police in the region to look for his vehicle.

At about 1:30 p.m., he was located by State Police in Putnam County where a vehicle pursuit began.

He eventually made his way into Dutchess County on I-84, over the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge, traveling in the wrong direction, until he eventually crashed and was taken into custody. The crash was reported to involve the suspect’s vehicle, a tractor-trailer, a state police vehicle, and other vehicles.

The suspect and another driver sustained minor injuries in the crash.

Humphrey was taken into custody at the accident scene by the state police.

Traffic on and around I-84 was at a virtual standstill Monday afternoon as a result of the incident.
