Police have six people in custody after a carjacking and chase that started in Dearborn and ended in Detroit.

Dearborn police said the suspects assaulted a driver in Dearborn on Walnut Street before taking off in the vehicle.

Police said the victim did not sustain any serious injuries but a condition could not be confirmed.

According to police, the vehicle was spotted going northbound on the Southfield Freeway a short time later.

After a short car chase, the six people ditched the car and ran away, scattering in the area of Mansfield Street and McNichols Road in Detroit.

Families in the area were surprised by the incident.

“I heard some yelling outside. I said, ‘Is somebody out there arguing?’” said Trequan Tidwell, who was in his kitchen at the time. “I came outside and the police were like, ‘Get on the ground.’ They frisk me down and all that.”

Police said Tidwell, unknowingly, had walked into the end of the police foot chase involving officers from Detroit, Dearborn and Michigan State Police troopers.

Dearborn police said the six people, all teenagers, were running through back yards and jumping fences.

Another neighbor, identified only as Theron, said he saw the teens.

Theron added, “Before I could make it to the side door, police ran up and put the gun to me and my son-in-law, and asked us who we were.”

According to police, the six people taken into custody were identified only as three boys and three girls.

“Detroit was right there with us, and the state police and our undercover guys,” said Lt. Mark Tobias of the Dearborn Police Department. “It was a good team effort.”
