Pizza delivery driver forced to flee police by gun-wielding carjacker, who later left child behind - Houston Chronicle

A pizza delivery driver was carjacked late Tuesday in east Houston by an armed man who also had a child with him, police said.

The worker was carjacked shortly before 11 p.m., police told media. The attacker held a shotgun at the driver during the heist, although it is unclear what the gunman had planned after getting in the delivery driver’s car.

The gunman had a child with him. He placed the child in the back seat of the driver’s car before demanding that the driver speed off, police said.

Officers caught up with the car, but the driver sped away, police said. He reached speeds near 100 mph during a pursuit along East Loop 610 and down Texas 225, which is when he exited and stopped in the 700 block of South Shaver Street in Pasadena.

The attacker hopped out of the car and fled on foot, leaving the child and gun behind, police said. The age and condition of the child were not immediately clear.

The pizza delivery driver stayed behind and was being questioned by police, officers on scene said. They were unable to immediately apprehend the attacker.
