PITTSBURGH — A man carjacked a woman and then led officers on a chase throughout Pittsburgh on Friday evening, according to police.

Police said the suspect claimed he was under the influence of narcotics when they arrested him.
He was taken to the hospital for evaluation before being taken to the Allegheny County jail.
