KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — Authorities say a suspect in a carjacking  was arrested after leading officers on a chase early Sunday morning.

Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety officers say they responded to  an armed carjacking in the 900 block of W Kalamazoo Avenue around 8:30  p.m. Saturday. Officers were able to get a description of the suspect  and the stolen vehicle.

Around 1 a.m. Sunday, a Kalamazoo Public Safety Sergeant saw the  stolen vehicle driving eastbound on Patterson Street near Burdick  Street. The sergeant tried to stop the vehicle, but the suspect took  off. The sergeant ended the chase when the suspect began driving against  traffic.
