Officers responded at 12:53 p.m. near York and 19th streets to reports of a hit-and-run collision and found a man armed with a knife who matched the description of the suspect.

Witnesses at the scene told police the suspect had carjacked a victim and injured them during an altercation before fleeing and striking the pedestrian with the stolen vehicle.
