Body camera footage was released Thursday, showing a Florida man jump off a bridge and into the river in an attempt to avoid being arrested.

The Daytona Beach Police Department said its officers spotted a robbery suspect they were searching for walking along a bridge around 7 a.m.

When officers told the suspect, identified as 32-year-old Richard Martinovics, he was being detained, he jumped the guardrail and plunged into the Halifax River below.

"This is gonna be him," an officer said after watching Martinovics hit the water.

The police department enlisted their marine unit to locate and apprehend Martinovics in the water.
