Thug Carjacks Woman At Knifepoint At School, Crashes Car Into School Bus

Police say the 51-year-old was leaving Rochester School No. 57 around 4 p.m. While loading her belongings into her Jeep, police she was approached by a man wielding a knife. The victim was injured when the suspect grabbed a necklace and lanyard from around her neck, according to Rochester Police.

Less than an hour later, officers spotted the stolen Jeep and attempted to stop the driver. A chase ensued.

As officers were attempting to call out to the occupants of the stolen vehicle, they say the driver suddenly reversed the Jeep, ramming its rear bumper into the front bumper of a Rochester Police car.

The vehicle did take off at that point,” RPD Capt. Adam Radens said. “The officers pursued the vehicle. At one point the vehicle was heading the wrong way on Roycroft approaching the intersection at Roycroft and Carter.”

It all came to an end when the stolen Jeep crashed into a school bus.

Seventeen student passengers and one adult driver were on board the school bus. Luckily no one was hurt.

Police say one of the people found riding inside the stolen Jeep was responsible for the carjacking. Maliq McCullough, 20, is charged with robbery, assault, and grand larceny. He was arrested after a police chase. McCullough was taken to the Monroe County Jail and was arraigned Thursday.

The other person who RPD said was in the car, 23-year-old Adeosun Hughes, is charged with the unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. He was issued an appearance ticket for Rochester City Court.
