Dallas police chased a carjacking suspect thru Dallas streets for nearly an hour Thursday afternoon, before before crashing through a locked chain-link fence and onto a runway at Love Field.

The chase  ended when police surrounded and rammed a pickup truck alongside a busy runway, pulled the  driver from the cab and placed him in handcuffs.
