Minneapolis City Councilman Jamal Osman was carjacked Monday night, just days after winning reelection on a platform that emphasized criminal justice reform and alternative responses to crime.
Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed the incident Tuesday, saying two juveniles — ages 15 and 16 — were arrested after stealing Osman’s car and crashing it shortly afterward.
According to police, the suspects approached Osman, threatened him with mace, and stole his vehicle.
The two teens then collided with several cars and a fire hydrant before fleeing on foot.
Officers later captured both suspects, who are being held pending charges.
