Charges are pending against a man accused of carjacking a young woman and then slamming the car into a gas pump in Fairfax County.
It happened around 4:30 p.m. on Monday. Fairfax County Police say they received a call about a larceny suspect at Tysons Corner Center. Officers in the parking garage of the mall spotted a man running out of the building and began to approach.
Before they could get near him, they say he tried to carjack a young woman who was driving in the garage.
Police say the man pulled open the door of the moving vehicle, and at first, was dragged by the driver. But then, the driver put the car in park and jumped out, as the suspect jumped in and took off.
Police chased after the suspect, who they say drove out of the garage and pulled onto Leesburg Pike/Rt 7.
After a very brief pursuit, surveillance footage obtained exclusively by WUSA9 shows the suspected thief pull into the parking lot of a Shell gas station in the 8100 block of Leesburg Pike, and slam into a gas pump.
