EL PASO, Texas -- El Paso police were searching Sunday evening for a man wanted in a carjacking that happened in the Bartlett Drive area of west El Paso.

Officers spotted the stolen red sedan and chased it as the car made its way to Transmountain and then towards northeast El Paso.

Police broke off the pursuit as it reached dangerous speeds; the car was later found abandoned near Austin High School.

The carjacker remained at large; he was last seen wearing a black hoodie, but officers had no further description.
