A Camden County man is accused of stealing an Atlantic City police transport van and ramming two patrol cars shortly after he was released from police custody on attempted burglary of a police car.

Video captured by a resident’s surveillance camera shows officers running from their vehicles as the van backed up into the patrol cars as the driver was cornered on North Iowa Avenue.

A concerned citizen first alerted police at about 7:20 p.m. Friday that a man was trying to steal a marked patrol vehicle parked on Atlantic Avenue, Sgt. Paul Aristizabal said.

Officers William Akins and Jarae Langford, who were at the Public Safety Building, saw the man trying to open the locked driver’s side door to the patrol vehicle, and confronted him, according to the report.

Jason Urbaniak admitted that he was trying to steal the vehicle, and was arrested without incident, Aristizabal said.

He was processed on attempted burglary charges and released on a summons at about 10:50 p.m., according to the report.

Urbaniak, 40, then went into the parked Police Department prisoner van, manipulated the ignition to start it and took off, Aristizabal said.

Police communications was immediately notified of the stolen van.

Officer Tyler Daily found the van minutes later in the 200 block of North Iowa Avenue.

Additional responding officers arrived on scene and pulled behind the van, when Urbaniak put it into reverse, accelerating into two marked patrol vehicles, Aristizabal said.

Officer Consuelo Maldonado suffered a minor injury as a result and was taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center’s City Campus, where she was treated and released.

Officers are seen in surveillance video running from their vehicles as the van heads toward them.

At least one pulled their firearm. Urbaniak was taken into custody without further incident.

The Blackwood resident is charged with two counts each of aggravated assault on police, attempted aggravated assault on police and assault by auto. He also is charged with theft of a motor vehicle, eluding and criminal attempt burglary.

Urbaniak is in the Atlantic County Justice Facility.

An investigation into how he was able to start the van is underway.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call Atlantic City police at 609-347-5858. Information may also be texted anonymously to tip411 (847411), beginning the text with ACPD.

A young woman who was walking along a sidewalk in the Los Álamos citadel, in the north of Guayaquil, was beaten by two men who approached her to rob her.

The incident was recorded by a sector camera. In the images it is seen that two men approach a woman who is walking on the sidewalk and struggle with her.

As the young woman refuses to hand over her belongings, the subjects push her, corner her against the wall of a house and one of them begins to hit her on the head.

The woman only manages to try to dodge the blows and protect her face with her hands. The men flee after beating the young woman.

Another similar robbery was reported in the Guayaquil suburb. There, subjects on motorcycles snatched their belongings from a woman who was walking down the street. The event was also recorded on video.

In the recording it is observed that an individual approaches a woman and steals her belongings. Behind him a subject appears on a motorcycle to pick up the thief. Seconds later, three other motorcycles appear to guard them.
