NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A Metro police officer's patrol car was hit by a man in a stolen vehicle early Wednesday morning in the Cane Ridge neighborhood of Antioch.
It happened at a home on Blairfield Drive near O'Hara Drive around 2:30 a.m.
The family told News 2 they woke up to a man stealing one of their cars outside the home before he turned around and hit a patrol vehicle driving by. The officer was on another call in the area when he came across a man in a ski mask, according to Metro police.
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.
