One person is in custody after a Dayton police chase involving a carjacking suspect, according to Montgomery County dispatch.
The male suspect, who was wearing a gray hoodie and black ski mask, hit the driver of a silver Honda Accord in the head with a gun before taking the car.
“Someone just stole my car,” the 911 caller told dispatchers. “Some dude ran up on my passenger side door, opened my passenger side door, told me to get out ... when he had the gun and told me to get out the car, I got out the car and he hit me in the back of the head with the gun.”
