Minneapolis carjacker "mentally ill, suffers from depression and hasn't being taking his medication"
"Lately he has been out of control." Yes, you could say that. An update on this story: "Carjacking spree leaves woman in critical," from KSTP.com, with thanks to Paul:

A woman is in critical condition after a wild chain of events in north Minneapolis Wednesday morning.
Police said around 7:55 a.m., Ismail Yassin Mohamed, 22, was driving a stolen black Chevy Cavalier when he began intentionally ramming a blue and white taxi cab for several blocks until the cab crashed.

The cab driver and a female passenger managed to escape from the cab, but the passenger was critically injured....

After the cab crashed, police said Mohamed took off in the Cavalier and then crashed into a business. He got out of the car and stole a school van. The driver of the van managed to get an 8-year-old boy off of the vehicle before Mohamed stole it.

Later, Mohamed crashed the van into another group of cars. Authorities said Mohamed was trying steal another car when witnesses pinned Mohamed down and waited for authorities....

5 EYEWITNESS NEWS spoke with the suspect's mother who said her son is mentally ill, suffers from depression and hasn't being taking his medication. She said "lately he has been out of control."

Mohamed is currently in police custody and has a prior conviction for robbery in 2003.

Paul also notes that these two stories do not give the suspect's name:
