A New Hampshire man has been arrested after allegedly fleeing state troopers on a motorcycle, reaching a top speed of 149 mph.
Fnu Abraham, 29, of Hillsborough, was driving a 2017 Honda CBR-1000 motorcycle as the New Hampshire State Police Special Enforcement Unit was conducting a traffic enforcement initiative on Interstate 89 in Hopkinton, authorities said.
Police said Abraham was originally spotted speeding at 88 mph, but when troopers tried to stop him, he fled, eventually reaching a high speed of 149 mph.
A state trooper who was operating a police helicopter was able to monitor Abraham for several miles until he exited the highway at Exit 6 in Hopkinton. He then traveled on Route 127 until he reached the parking lot of Mr. Mike's convenience store in Hopkinton, where he was apprehended.
