Possible carjacking suspect taken into custody after pursuit through streets of northwest Miami-Dade
A massive investigation is underway in northwest Miami-Dade after officials say a possible carjacking suspect led deputies in a pursuit on Thursday afternoon.
The chaotic situation began to unfold late Thursday morning when Hialeah police said they received reports of a carjacking from the parking lot of Palmetto Hospital on West 68th Street.
Preliminary information indicated that a man was brought to the hospital by deputies under a Baker Act, and then fled the area shortly after arriving.
Once he was in the parking lot, police said the suspect approached the victim getting out of her car, and he forced himself inside and fled the scene.
Investigators then began to look for the vehicle, and it was eventually located in northwest Miami-Dade.
Video from above the scene showed numerous law enforcement vehicles from the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office and Florida Highway Patrol in pursuit of the vehicle.
Law enforcement were eventually able to perform a PIT menuever, and the vehicle became disabled. The driver was then taken into custody.
No additional details were released.
