"A suspect who is now in custody went on an apparent hit-and-run rampage in Berkeley Tuesday morning in an allegedly stolen car, hitting two pedestrians, a bicyclist, and then another car, before unsuccessfully attempting to carjack two other vehicles. There was a disturbing set of events in Berkeley Tuesday morning, as KTVU reports, with a hit-and-run driver driving a suspected stolen BMW hitting three different people in what some eyewitnesses described as intentional collisions."
"The mayhem started at about 7:45 am Tuesday morning at Derby Street and Belrose Avenue, only about a block from Elmwood Elementary School. A driver struck at least three people Tuesday morning near the campus of UC Berkeley in a dramatic hit-and-run, visual evidence and an eyewitness said. "He was very clearly trying to hit people," eyewitness Alec Earley told the Berkeley Scanner."
"The first of these incidents is seen in the household surveillance camera video seen below obtained by KTVU, and we should warn you it's disturbing. At about the :25 second mark, the grey BMW 52I (which appears to be blatantly driving on the sidewalk) simply mows down a man who's walking his dog on the sidewalk. The car just drags the man for almost a block according to KGO, as the terrified dog runs by itself to safety."

The incidents began around 7:45 a.m. near Derby Street and Belrose Avenue, about a block from Elmwood Elementary School and close to the UC Berkeley campus. Surveillance video shows the vehicle driving onto a sidewalk, striking and dragging a man walking his dog, then returning and colliding with a jogger who flipped over the car and suffered a head injury. Eyewitnesses described the collisions as intentional. The suspect is now in custody after attempted carjackings and additional collisions.
