The incident occurred on June 18 while Riverside Police Department officers were searching for a car taken during a carjacking, according to the report. Video released on Aug. 3 shows officers locating the vehicle and pulling up behind it as the driver entered a parking lot.

The driver, armed with a loaded handgun, got out of the vehicle and began to flee on foot toward a neighborhood. One officer then fired shots at the man. The driver was struck by gunfire and taken to a nearby hospital, where he is in stable condition, according to the report.

The suspect, who is a documented gang member on probation for several other charges, has been charged with carjacking, according to the report.
