A man escaped on foot Monday morning after he tried to carjack a Houston news crew van, then stole the cruiser of officers who stopped to help.

KPRC-TV reported that its van had stopped at an intersection when another driver sideswiped the vehicle, got out of his car and assaulted the crew inside, trying to carjack them about 4:45 a.m.

When two officers taking a 16-year-old to a detention center stopped to help, the man attacked them too, jumped into the cruiser and drove away with the handcuffed juvenile inside, Lt. Larry Crowson said. The suspected drunken driver dragged one of the officers a short distance as he drove away in their car, KPRC-TV reporter Sofia Ojeda said in a Facebook Live video.

The suspect dumped the juvenile two blocks away, and officers found the cruiser abandoned nearby.
