Man taken into custody following wrong-way pursuit on I-264 in Virginia Beach
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — An unidentified man has been taken into custody following a pursuit with Virginia State Police Sunday night. According to state police, troopers attempted to stop a dark blue Cadillac at 9 p.m. in the westbound lanes of Interstate 264 for reckless driving. The driver refused to stop, causing a traffic pursuit to begin. During the pursuit, the Cadillac exited the interstate at Birdneck Road and entered the city of Virginia Beach, where the driver traveled into the opposite travel lanes against the flow of traffic. The driver continued traveling in the wrong direction until troopers struck the vehicle at the off ramp of I-264 east, disabling the vehicle. Police said the driver barricaded himself in the vehicle and refused to exit. Virginia Beach Police, K-9 and tactical units assisted with the barricade. Shortly after, the unknown male driver was taken into custody without incident. Both east and west lanes were shut down on I-264 while police investigated. Traffic was detoured to Laskin Road. All lanes have since reopened. The driver had no positive identification and refused to identify himself. He has been taken to Virginia Beach city jail to have fingerprints scanned for identification. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Murder suspects remanded in custody accused of killing boy, 16
Two men charged with murdering a 16-year-old pedestrian in a hit-and-run and three counts of attempted murder have appeared in court. Zulkernain Ahmed, 20, and Armaan Ahmed, 26, were not asked to enter any pleas when they were remanded in custody at Sheffield Magistrates' Court accused of killing Abdullah Yaser Abdullah Al Yazidi. The teenager was walking along Staniforth Road in the Darnall area of Sheffield last Wednesday when he was hit by an Audi car and suffered fatal injuries. Police said officers understood that the Audi had driven towards three electric bikes, colliding with one rider, an 18-year-old man who suffered serious but non life-threatening injuries. District Judge James Gould was told that the two defendants are both charged with the same offences, all alleged to have been committed on Wednesday June 4. The judge told Ahmed and Ahmed, who appeared alongside each other in the glass-fronted dock: 'The next hearing in your case in respect of all of these charges is the 10th of June at the crown court in Sheffield. 'You have no right to apply for bail at this stage and accordingly you are remanded in custody and you will appear tomorrow at the Crown Court.' During the three-minute hearing on Monday, the men, both of Locke Drive, Darnall, spoke only to give their names, dates of birth and address. Details of the attempted murder charges were not read to the defendants, who were both represented by the same defence lawyer. Relatives of Abdullah said last week that he had recently arrived in the UK from Yemen 'for a better future' and was devoted to his family. He arrived in the UK two or three months ago, and was enjoying learning English ahead of starting at college in September. Abdullah's relative Saleh Alsirkal said: 'His dad brought him over to change his life, to get a better future for his son, but this has happened and destroyed everything.' Mr Alsirkal added that Abdullah was a 'kind boy' who just wanted to look after his family, including his three sisters. Two people, a man aged 46 and a 45-year-old woman, arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, have both been bailed pending further inquiries, police said.
