Police say a Houston man was in a mental crisis when he allegedly stole two vehicles and forced a 64-year-old woman out of a moving car during a police chase Thursday night.

Kevin Chambers, 34, of Houston, had recently started attending the Dallie Sue Church Of The Lord Jesus Christ, police said, before he allegedly attempted to steal a car in the church's parking lot Thursday night.

Officials with the Splendora Police Department said Chambers "forcibly removed" one female from the vehicle and took off with another 64-year-old female still inside. He lead police on a chase before allegedly pushing the older woman "out of the vehicle at a slow rate of speed," at FM 1314 and U.S. 59, authorities said.
