The suspect hit the officer's vehicle with the family's gold Infiniti Q-60 and sped away.

A witness told News 2 the Infiniti is his brother's car - and at first - he thought he was just heading to work as usual, but would soon find out his brother was still inside the house.

"At that point, I'm still, I'm in my mind that that my brother's in that car, like he's driving that car. So I'm, I'm so confused. I'm like, what? What did he do that he's like, running from the police. But I was relieved to find out that it wasn't him, it wasn't him, it was somebody stealing his car. So that was that's a relief," explained Jayden Amankwah.

The officer was not hurt in the incident. The suspect remains at large.
