Maywood Man Arrested After Chaotic Series of Events in Downtown Chicago

A chaotic scene unfolded in downtown Chicago late Friday night when a Maywood man allegedly carjacked a taxi driver, ran him over, assaulted a woman, and fought with police officers before finally being subdued and taken into custody.

According to Chicago police, Maurice McDowell, 43, was arrested just before midnight at 10 South Wabash Avenue after a violent series of events that began moments earlier on the same street.

Investigators say McDowell forcibly pulled a 36-year-old taxi driver from his vehicle near Madison and Wabash, then drove over the victim with the stolen cab. He allegedly crashed the vehicle a short distance away, then attacked a 45-year-old woman on the street, striking her in the face.

McDowell (CPD)

Officers quickly found McDowell nearby, blocking the roadway. As they tried to arrest him, he fought back, battering officers and actively resisting before being subdued and taken into custody, according to CPD.

The taxi driver was transported to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in serious condition. The woman McDowell allegedly struck suffered minor injuries.

McDowell now faces an array of charges: attempted first-degree murder, vehicular hijacking, aggravated battery to a peace officer, three misdemeanor counts of resisting, misdemeanor assault, and misdemeanor battery.

According to court records, McDowell had two active warrants at the time of his arrest, one for misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia and another for failing to appear in court late last month in a case where he is charged with driving on a revoked license following a personal injury crash.
