What is it about human beings that they love a good chase?

Sure, we all understand in 99.9% of cases it's best if the police or authorities catch whomever it is they are chasing but if you give people a chase to watch, they'll tune right in. Dateline Newark; A man jumped from a car being chased by police in far western (and we mean far western) Harrison and jumped into the Passaic River and swam across and made his getaway via a storm drain. The Jersey Journal picks up the story (and wrote it):

From the bridge support, he swam to a storm drain and walked inside, police said. Specialized equipment was being deployed from the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission to assist in the ongoing search shortly before 6 p.m.

Authorities did not immediately say why police stopped the man or release his name. Harrison police said more information would be available Thursday morning. 

So, if you're in Newark tonight and someone who smells like they've spent the better part of a day in a sewer and storm drain and they want to use the phone, just say no (after hitting them with the smell good) and call police. No word on if SewerMan is armed or dangerous.
