You arrive in the area and see a man matching the description just three blocks from the jewelry store walking east on Green Street. When you pull up to the subject and exit your squad car, the subject runs toward you and shoves you. The subject then starts running away and pulls from his jacket what appears to be a metal pipe. At this point, what would you do?
