The building the perpetrator is trying to escape from

Scene where James, still being an ordinary policeman, chases a suspect who is behaving very strangely and showing extraordinary physical abilities, and starts climbing the building on his own. A dazed James doesn't hesitate to smash the doors of the building to get inside and continue the chase.
