A man accused of carjacking a woman after escaping from Palmetto Hospital in Hialeah was taken into custody Thursday after a police chase that ended in a crash in northwest Miami-Dade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authorities identified the suspect as 35-year-old Jordan Eugene Brown. Police said Brown had been taken to the hospital under a Baker Act order for a mental health evaluation but fled shortly after arriving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Hialeah Police, Brown approached a woman in the hospital parking lot as she was getting out of her vehicle and forced his way inside. As he fled in the stolen vehicle, he struck another car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s deputies, police officers and Florida Highway Patrol troopers later pursued a speeding black Nissan Sentra through northwest Miami-Dade. Multiple attempts to stop the vehicle using PIT maneuvers caused damage, but the driver continued fleeing and at times drove into oncoming traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An FHP trooper eventually managed to spin the vehicle, causing it to crash near Northwest 17th Avenue and 79th Street. Brown was taken into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No injuries were reported in the carjacking. Hialeah Police said they are investigating the carjacking and hit-and-run, while the Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office and Florida Highway Patrol were involved in the pursuit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
