A man is in custody after carjacking a woman at gunpoint, stealing a police vehicle and leading officers on a chase across the city Friday night, police said.<\/p>\n

Inspector D F Pace said a 21-year-old man stole a black Chevrolet SUV from a woman at gunpoint just after 6:30 p.m., near Race and Robinson streets in West Philadelphia. Pace said the woman told the police the SUV was equipped with OnStar navigation, which allowed officers to track the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Officers chased the vehicle, with assistance from a helicopter, until it crashed at Frankford and Adams avenues in Philadelphia’s Frankford neighborhood. The man then fled on foot with officers continuing to chase. In a brazen move, the suspect doubled back to the scene\u00a0 of the crash, jumped into a parked police vehicle and drove off again.<\/p>\n

Officers followed the stolen police vehicle to the 900 block of Arrott Street, where the man abandoned the car and ran into a backyard. Officers were able to find him and take him into custody.<\/p>\n
