A Georgia K-9 deputy was struck by a vehicle Wednesday while chasing a bank robbery suspect but got up, continued the pursuit and helped deputies take him into custody.

Fox 5 Atlanta reported that deputies with the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office were notified of a possible bank robbery in progress at the Regions Bank in Newnan, Georgia. 

Authorities located the suspect’s vehicle and attempted a traffic stop, but the driver failed to yield, sparking a pursuit.

The chase ended when the suspect crashed and ran from the wrecked vehicle, officials said.

Airbags were deployed, and the vehicle sustained heavy front-end damage, including blown-out wheels and damaged bumpers.

A K-9 handler then deployed his partner, Robbi, to track and apprehend the fleeing suspect.
