The stolen truck was parked behind this one with the keys in it.
This city truck was also hit.
The suspect runs over some trees and into the brick wall.
There was severe damage to the truck.
Another look at the stolen truck.
Fire crews check the man for injuries.
That’s what happened when a City of Everett public works employee was working on Cedar street just north of Pacific.
Shortly before 9:00 AM the worker was outside of the truck which was running with the keys inside when a man wearing a red shirt walked up to the truck, hopped in and drove off.
He didn’t get too far heading into the Sound Transit Parking lot on Hill street where he hit another truck, drove over a tree and into the side of a brick building.
He reportedly tried to assault a city worker with a jack from the truck but was quickly detained by Everett Police.
The 30-year-old man was then examined for injuries by the Everett Fire Department and taken by ambulance to Providence Regional Medical Center to be checked out.
His final landing place will likely be the Snohomish County Jail facing numerous charges.
