Police: Teen grazed by bullet, arrested after attempting to carjack off-duty Baltimore Police officer
BALTIMORE - A 15-year-old who had reportedly stolen a car was grazed by a bullet after attempting to carjack an off-duty Baltimore Police officer early Monday.
Shortly before 3 a.m., police said the teen pulled up next to the officer's personal car in the 1300 block of Walker Avenue, got out of his car, showed a gun in an carjacking attempt.
Police said the officer grabbed his gun and shot in the direction of the teen, who took off in their car.
Officers found the car the teen reportedly stole at the intersection of Loch Raven Boulevard and Walker Avenue. The teen was found with a graze wound along East Lafayette Avenue.
Police said he confessed to the attempted carjacking and was arrested.
The involved officer was Detective Aaron Cain, who has been a member of the Baltimore Police Department since October 2001. He has been placed on routine administrative leave during this investigation.
Due to the officer being in an on-call duty status, there is no body-worn camera footage of this incident, police said.
