(Original story from this morning below)

An intense situation on the Mass Pike just before Exit 3 in Stockbridge had multiple Massachusetts State Police units surrounding a suspect after a highway pursuit. The MSP reported on Twitter at 9:20 AM that they now have the suspect in custody.

Eastbound and Westbound were both shutdown...

The pursuit came to a stop on I90 Westbound, just prior to Exit 3 in Stockbridge. There, troopers were working to remove the suspect from the vehicle peacefully. State Police units had both the Westbound and Eastbound sides of I90, shut down while the situation is ongoing.
