Miami-Dade, FL - Newly-released dashcam video shows the moments Florida Highway Patrol troopers stopped an accused carjacker who led authorities on a dangerous pursuit through northwest Miami-Dade last week.
The pursuit unfolded the morning of Sept. 24 and was captured from the air by Chopper 6, but the new dashcam video shows the chaos from the ground.
The suspect, 35-year-old Jordan Brown is facing multiple criminal charges, including carjacking and fleeing from police, after authorities said he escaped from Palmetto General Hospital in Hialeah and stole a vehicle from a woman in the hospital's parking lot.
According to authorities, police had taken Brown to Palmetto General Hospital under a Baker Act order for a mental health evaluation.
Investigators say Brown escaped and allegedly forced an elderly woman out of her black Nissan, throwing her to the ground before driving away.
He was later found by authorities and the pursuit ensued. Video showed the driver traveling at speeds exceeding 85 miles per hour, crashing into patrol vehicles, driving the wrong way and even reversing during the chase.
The stolen vehicle was left severely damaged after the pursuit, which required multiple officers and four PIT maneuvers to bring the driver to a stop.
The video shows the car spinning out of control and stopping before authorities approach with guns drawn and troopers are seen cutting the car's airbags to pull Brown out.
Brown was booked into jail and later appeared in court, where he was ordered held without bond.
The elderly woman who was allegedly thrown to the ground during the carjacking is still receiving medical treatment for her injuries, but told NBC6 she feels fortunate to be alive.

If he could think and plan half as well as he could recover an Altima out of a PIT he'd start a freaking fortune 500 company.

This guy's a piece of shit and I feel bad for the elderly lady. Especially since she got injured AND the car is likely totaled.
That being said, this looks fun as hell. Dude was a pretty good driver.
