A Tennessee man stole an ambulance from a hospital, crashed into a police vehicle, then drove into the woods before he was caught, police say.

Police said Renny McMahon, 50, stole an ambulance from Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville around 10:20 p.m. Monday shortly after he reportedly created a disturbance. Police did not provide details about the alleged disturbance, nor did they say why McMahon was at the hospital.

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said authorities used GPS to track the ambulance to the Chestnut Hill neighborhood, just south of downtown.
