A California man stole ambulance that responded to assist him and led police on a 20-mile chase Friday night before being arrested.
Oregon State Police arrested the man on I-5 at about 8 p.m. The police originally responded to a report of a car crash where the victim had run away. When they reached the scene, however, they learned the victim had returned and allegedly stol a Woodburn ambulance that had responded to the accident
Police tried to pin the ambulance at one point, but say the driver rammed a patrol cruiser, hit a building and continued fleeing.
Police again caught up to the ambulance on I-5 when the driver stopped and attempted to enter another vehicle.
Police were then able to arrest Noor Baheej, 30, of Winnetka. They said he showed signs of impairment and is facing several charges.
