A maniac who believed he was playing a real-life version of “Grand Theft Auto” led San Francisco police on a wild car chase in which he detonated pipe bombs and ignited Molotov cocktails, a city official said.
The crazed man went on a video game-inspired rampage at Saints Peter and Paul Church on Sunday where he received communion before attacking congregants and being kicked out of the synagogue, a priest told local outlet KGO.
After the attack at the church, police responded to the scene and saw the suspect drive away.
As police chased the suspect across the Bay Bridge, the unidentified man was seen throwing a “suspicious device” from his car window, police said.

The San Francisco Police Officers Association, the city’s largest police union, posted on X that officers in Sunday’s pursuit “encountered a suspect with a homemade device.”
City supervisor Aaron Peskin, who was briefed on the incident, told the San Francisco Standard that the suspect detonated a pipe bomb in the 1500 block of Jones Street and launched a Molotov cocktail on 8th Street.
The chase continued onto the freeway and was taken over by California Highway Patrol troopers, who eventually cornered and detained the suspect in suburban Martinez. At the time of his arrest, Peskin said the suspect asked “how many points he got in his Grand Theft Auto game.”

Peskin told the Standard “In 23 years of doing this, this is probably the weirdest.”
“Grand Theft Auto” is a best-selling video game franchise in which players can commit random crimes and acts of violence, including police chases, in a large open-world environment.
Officers deployed a bomb-detecting robot to search the trunk of the suspect’s wrecked silver sedan, as seen in a video broadcast on KTVU. A CHP spokesperson told KGO that the driver did not throw anything from his car at troopers, but they found an unspecified “item” in his car.
There were no reports of injuries or property damage as a result of the chase, police said.
