Police are searching for the suspect behind a carjacking that happened Wednesday outside a Taco Bell in Glen Burnie, Maryland.
The incident was reported shortly after 11 a.m. at a Taco Bell in the 6600 block of Ritchie Highway.
Anne Arundel County Police say the suspect and his ex-girlfriend had gotten a ride to the fast-food restaurant, where he started acting erratically.
He exited the vehicle they were riding in and approached another vehicle in the drive-thru lane.
Police say he forcibly removed the driver of that vehicle and began to drive away in reverse.
The carjacking victim was injured as the vehicle fled, along with a witness who tried to intervene. Both suffered minor injuries, and one was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Detectives later discovered the stolen vehicle, a 2009 Toyota Corolla, unoccupied on North Kenwood Drive in Baltimore.
