"BERKELEY - A 26-year-old Vallejo man is in custody following two separate hit-and-runs and a pair of attempted carjackings Tuesday in Berkeley, according to authorities. The suspect hit two victims - a 46-year-old woman out for a jog and a 30-year-old man walking his dog - in the 2700 block of Belrose Avenue, Berkeley police Officer Jessica Perry told this news organization. Both were taken to an area hospital."
"Perry said a third victim - a 78-year-old man riding his bicycle - was found later on Derby Street. He was also taken to the hospital. All three victims were listed in stable condition Tuesday night, according to Perry. Perry described the collisions as "deliberate acts." "While the victims involved in these crashes do not appear to have been specifically targeted, the crashes themselves appear to be deliberate acts by the suspect," Perry said."
