Philadelphia Police arrest carjacking suspect

FOX 29's Steve Keeley has the latest on the arrest made.

PHILADELPHIA - Police say they made an arrest in a carjacking that led to a wild pursuit Tuesday evening.

The incident happened Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. when police responded to report of a man following his Mercedes-Benz sedan that was stolen during a gunpoint carjacking about a week ago.

Police were able to catch up to the vehicle on the 4000 block of Aramingo Avenue.

When police attempted to stop the stolen Mercedes Benz, the driver, later identified as 32-year-old Nathan Manning, sped down the street.

Officers continued followed Manning to the 4500 block of Richmond Street where he rear-ended a parked and unattended vehicle.

At this point, police say Manning got out of the stolen vehicle and attempted to flee on foot. While attempting to flee, he threw some credit cards and ID into the back of a parked pick-up truck.

Officers were able to catch up to Manning with the help of some witnesses.

Police say the victim of the original carjacking was able to positively identify the suspect.

An investigation revealed that some of the credit cards and IDs that the suspect allegedly tossed were stolen during a carjacking that happened on Monday.

Police believe Manning may have been involved in that carjacking as well, but will need to conduct a lineup or possibly a photo spread of the suspect.

Authorities say Manning is facing charges of carjacking, gun violations, possession of a stolen vehicle, and resisting arrest.
