Police chased after a man accused of stealing a car and crashing it in Brockton Thursday night, sending four people to the hospital, according to authorities.

Brockton Police were called just before 10 p.m. when the unidentified man first allegedly tried to steal a car at the Speedway Gas Station at 296 North Pearl Street.

The suspect was unsuccessful at the gas station but managed to jump into a Kia Rio that was left running outside the 7-11 located at 65 Oak Street Extension.

A man and a woman who were in the Honda were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
