The driver of that vehicle attempted to flee on foot when he was confronted by a witness to the collision. The suspect sprayed the witness with a noxious substance and then fled. The male suspect was located by police a short time later and arrested.

Those charges include theft of a motor vehicle, possession of property obtained by crime, assault with a weapon and breach of probation. He was held in custody and will appear in bail court today.
