BALTIMORE — A suspect was struck by a Baltimore Police vehicle Monday evening following a report of an armed carjacking.
According to police, at around 7:08 p.m. on Monday, officers were dispatched to the 1800 Block of Druid Hill Avenue.
They say the victim, who was a food delivery driver, was approached by a suspect that displayed a firearm and drove away in the victim’s vehicle.
A short time later, officers found the vehicle and attempted to stop it, however the 16-year-old suspect continued fleeing.
Police say the suspect sped through city streets, going through several red lights and stop signs before bailing out of the vehicle.
During a foot pursuit, in which the suspect is seen changing his shirt, a police vehicle ends up striking him in an alley.
