Police say a Bridgeport man faces gun charges following a traffic stop that led to a short foot chase earlier this month.

Police say an officer saw a car leave a gas station speeding and committing multiple traffic violations.

They say Marques Lindsay ran from the back seat when the car was pulled over and tried to flee through several backyards. He was caught by police behind Washington Heights senior housing.

Police say Lindsay is a convicted felon barred from possessing a gun. He’s also accused of having an illegal extended magazine.
