A police chase through northwest Miami-Dade ended when authorities stopped a black Nissan Sentra near Northwest 17th Avenue and 79th Street and took the driver into custody.
Miami-Dade sheriff’s deputies and Florida Highway Patrol troopers were among the agencies involved, and that attempts to stop the car with PIT maneuvers damaged the vehicle before it was brought to a halt.
Hours earlier, Hialeah police said a man taken to Palmetto Hospital under a Baker Act order fled after arriving and allegedly forced his way into a woman’s vehicle in the parking lot as she was getting out. Authorities said the vehicle struck another car while leaving. Paramedics evaluated the woman at the scene and police said no injuries were reported. Authorities had not confirmed whether the driver arrested after the chase was the same man from the earlier carjacking investigation.
