MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. -- A man suspected of fatally beating a Russian traveler at a highway rest stop on Thursday led troopers on a 90-mile chase before he stopped and was arrested, police said.

Brian K. White, 26, of Humble, Texas, will likely be charged with murder, New Jersey State Police Sgt. Stephen Jones said. The victim, a 75-year-old Russian citizen, was declared dead at a hospital.

Police said White beat the man at the New Jersey Turnpike service plaza near Moorestown, N.J., then drove off.

Troopers caught up with the suspect near Trenton, N.J., about 15 minutes later and chased him for about an hour before he exited onto another highway, jumped out of his vehicle and charged at them.

White was quickly subdued and was not severely injured, Jones said.

He and the victim did not know one another, Jones said. Police did not know the motive for the attack.

He said White "made some statements that are probably going to lead us to seek some kind of medical attention" for him.

The victim, whose name was not released, was traveling with a business assistant who was inside the building when the beating occurred.
