The carjacker then hit the victim with the taxi before crashing it. The carjacker also hit a 53-year-old woman in the face after crashing the vehicle, according to police.
Officers found the suspect blocking the street on Wabash a short time later, and he began fighting with police and resisting arrest.
The taxi driver was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in serious condition. The woman the carjacker hit suffered minor abrasions, and was taken to Northwestern for treatment.
The carjacker was taken into custody, and charges were pending on Saturday afternoon.
