\"Suspect <\/p>\n

HOUSTON<\/strong> – Video showed the moments after a man jumped from the second story inside the Galleria mall onto the ice rink, attempting to get away from the cops.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What we know:<\/p>\n

“He jumped straight down, tried to land and when he hit the ice his legs literally went out from under him, they snapped,” said Martyn Norris, who saw the whole thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Houston police say some officers were working an extra job at the mall on Sunday when they were notified about a theft suspect.<\/p>\n

Police say the officers located the suspect and attempted to detain him, but the suspect jumped from the second floor down to the ice rink.<\/p>\n

“I saw this man sprinting and cops chasing after him,” said Norris.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Norris says the suspect yelled, \u2018come get me\u2019 before jumping from the overhang.\u00a0<\/p>\n

FOX 26 has reported on three shootings near the Galleria in the past few months. Norris says he’s noticed an increase in crime, but also an increase in police presence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Please think twice, because this is one of the most heavily populated police areas ever,” he said. “Wherever you go or whatever you try, they’re going to catch you.”<\/p>\n

Police say the man was taken to the hospital. They say he has yet to be charged, and his identity has not been released.\u00a0<\/p>\n
