Police arrest 2 teens in Richmond Hill carjacking that put 28-year-old victim in coma
RICHMOND HILL, Queens (WABC) -- Two 15-year-olds have been arrested in a Queens carjacking that left one man in a coma, police say.
Officials say that the suspects jumped into the 28-year-old victim's Lexus at around 10:00 p.m. on Monday (2/20). The car was parked near a Taco Bell on Liberty Avenue.
The victim, who was outside of the car to pick up a Doordash order, tried to stop the suspects from getting away. Officials say the suspects fled on Lefferts Boulevard with the victim hanging onto the vehicle's roof rack.
The driver of the car lost control while speeding and hit a fire hydrant, which caused the car to flip over.
Police say the suspects got out of the car and ran off, but Thompson suffered serious injuries from being flung to the ground.
Officers stopped two of the three suspects and took them into custody.
They have been charged with assault, grand larceny, and related offenses.
