CHICAGO - A Chicago man has been charged with carjacking a person on I-90 last September.

At about 12:43 p.m. on Sept. 16, 2021, Illinois State Police District Chicago responded to a report of a carjacking on I-90 northbound at Ohio Street.
A 31-year-old victim was rear-ended by a white Toyota Camry, that was later found to have been stolen in a carjacking.
