A carjacker with a lengthy rap sheet led Denver police on a nearly hour-long during which he commandeered three different vehicles, including one with a four-year-old child strapped in the back seat.
The chase began when Ryan Cole, 28, who has a lengthy criminal record for theft, flight, child abuse and drug offenses, allegedly stole a red 2008 Ford Edge SUV from a gas station, the Denver Post said. A 4-year-old boy was inside the vehicle still in his pajamas.
Cole headed east on I-76, catching a gold van and forcing it to stop. He then yanked the driver from the front seat and continued on his rampage.
He then headed toward the Denver International Airport where he struck two cars. Cole carjacked a third vehicle, pulling a woman from the driver's seat.
He then crashed again and took off on foot. Police eventually cornered him as he tried to scale the fence surrounding a strip mall.
