WINNIPEG — A 68-year-old man was seriously injured Monday morning when he was run over by his own vehicle during a carjacking.

The man was in his back lane shortly before 9 a.m. in the area of Bannerman Avenue and Charles Street when he was confronted by two suspects.

Police say the man struck with an object and pulled out of the car. He was found lying in the roadway by officers after the suspects drove over him. He remains in unstable condition in hospital.

Police spotted the vehicle being driven by a 16-year-old girl at around 9:30 a.m. near McPhillips Street and Mapleglen Drive. She sped away as officers began a pursuit and later abandoned the vehicle in the Riverbend neighbourhood.

A Riverbend resident called police at around noon to report a female calling for help from within a garbage in. Police say the teen had become stuck in the bin while trying to hide from officers. She was found to be in possession of the stolen vehicle’s keys.

The teen remains in custody facing numerous charges, including robbery and aggravated assault.

A male suspect remains at large.
