A car thief crashes a stolen jeep into a school bus after knife-wielding it

Two men in upstate New York rammed a jeep into a school bus carrying 17 children after they stole the vehicle from a woman who had been impaled with a knife.

Video shows the speeding jeep crashing into the front of the school bus and its occupants escaping on foot – they were arrested by police and identified as Addison Hughes, 23, and Malik McCullough, 20.

The red Jeep was stolen from a 51-year-old woman at around 4 p.m. on March 15, according to Rochester Police. They said she was injured when the suspect pulled a necklace and a rope from her neck.

Police spotted the car an hour later, and a short chase ensued, ending in a collision. Neither the children nor the bus driver were injured.

Two men in their early 20s allegedly stole a women’s Jeep in New York before crashing the stolen vehicle into a school bus carrying 17 children.

The red jeep was stolen from a knife-wielding woman around 4pm on March 15, about 3 miles from where it was hit by a bus.

Police say the woman was leaving a school on Coaster Street in Rochester around 4 p.m., and while loading items into her jeep she was approached by a man with a knife.

Her car was reported stolen and police saw the vehicle less than an hour later. When ordered to be pulled over, the jeep driver reversed it onto the front bumper of a Rochester Police patrol car before driving off.

“The car took off at that point,” Rochester Police Chief Adam Radins said. News 10. The officers followed the car. At one point, the car was turning the wrong way on Roycroft approaching the intersection at Roycroft and Carter.

Police chased the car the wrong way down a residential one-way street until it was filmed at the intersection by a passerby crashing into the front of a school bus.

Radins added, “At that same moment, a school bus, a northbound bus, was trying to cross that intersection when the stolen vehicle struck its front end.”

Raymond Gonzalez, who recorded the video, said he was leaving a corner store when he heard the police siren and saw the chase.

In the video, the two men in the jeep are seen fleeing on foot as the officers yell at them to get on the ground. The two ran in opposite directions but were caught.

McCullough was charged with first-degree robbery, second-degree assault, and third- and fourth-degree robbery. Hughes was charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.

The students on the bus attended Rochester Preparatory Charter School.

“Fortunately, the driver and each student were uninjured as a result of the accident,” the Rochester Police Department said in a statement.

“I reported the incident to the city’s school district and made arrangements to take each student home,” she added.

According to News10, this was the second carjacking reported on school property this year.

“If you don’t feel safe in the school parking lot, you’re not likely to feel safe in school, and if teachers don’t feel safe, you can bet kids aren’t safe either,” Adam Urbanski, president of the Rochester Teachers Association, told the channel.
