UFC Fighter Henry Cejudo Stops Fleeing Suspect After Car Crashes Into Neighbor’s Home in Phoenix

PHOENIX, Ariz., Apr. 6 (KNN) — Phoenix Police Department officers and Phoenix firefighters responded to the 1800 block of East Berridge Lane after receiving reports of a car that had crashed into a house Friday evening.

UFC fighter Henry Cejudo, who witnessed the incident, said a car was traveling at a high rate of speed in the residential neighborhood before losing control and crashing into his neighbor’s home.

The four occupants of the vehicle initially struggled to exit the car. As they began to get out, several of them attempted to flee the scene. Cejudo intervened in an effort to stop them.

One suspect became physically aggressive with the homeowner but was subdued by Cejudo.

The altercation ended when a neighbor arrived with a gun and ordered the combative suspect to stop.

Police arrived at the scene and detained at least one individual.

Phoenix Fire Department personnel transported at least one person to a local hospital with unspecified injuries. No one in the house sustained injuries from the crash.

Several cans of Twisted Tea were found in a backpack carried by one of the passengers, including at least one empty can.
