An unnamed man called authorities to a Dayton Pike convenience store early Sunday after he reportedly escaped from a carjacker he said assaulted him and forced him to drive him to the business.
The man escaped at the Kangaroo Express at 13424 Dayton Pike about 3:20 a.m. Sunday where the victim told police he had been assaulted by a party in the Soddy Daisy area and was then forced to drive the suspect to the Kangaroo Express, according to a Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office news release.
Around 8:45 a.m. Sunday, deputies were contacted about a crash with injuries on Pythian Road in Harrison. When officers arrived, the suspect fled into the woods but was later apprehended, officials said in the release.
An injured person who was riding with suspect was found at the area of the crash and transported with non-life-threatening injuries.
The vehicle involved in the accident on Pythian Road turned out to be the same vehicle that had been stolen in the earlier incident at the Kangaroo at 13424 Dayton Pike, officials said.
