Charges were pending for a man who fired shots at police after jumping out of a stolen car Thursday afternoon in the Edgewater neighborhood, authorities said.
No one was shot during the incident, which happened about 1:15 p.m. in the 6300 block of North Glenwood Avenue.
Police spotted a stolen vehicle and began following it, according to Officer Steve Rusanov, a police spokesman.
When the vehicle stopped, a 21-year-old man exited the car and started firing at officers, Rusanov said.
Police did not return fire and the assailant ran but was taken into custody a short while later.
The man was taken to Amita St. Francis Hospital in Evanston for observation and was reported to be in good condition, Rusanov said.
