A robbery suspect was hospitalized and two accomplices are on the run after a botched carjack attempt of an off-duty police sergeant Friday night, Local 4 reported.
Sgt. Ronald Powell said that he was outside of a party store at Burt Road and Chicago when a man approached him. Before Powell could identify himself, the suspect tried to pull a gun out of his pants to demand the officer's car, but instead, shot himself.
The suspect managed to stumble away with the help of two accomplices, who pulled down his pants and discovered that he had shot himself in the groin, Local 4 reported. They helped drag him down a nearby alley to a car -- described as a brown 1974 Cadillac -- waiting for them a short distance away.
Powell followed the men for a short distance.
The two accomplices dropped the wounded suspect off at Henry Ford Hospital. His condition was not known late Friday night.
The getaway vehicle was found abandoned in Highland Park.
Officers continue to look for the other two suspects.
Powell, a 25-year veteran of the department, was not injured.
