Fort Worth, TX (WFAA/CNN) - A cop car ended up in the side of a fence after police say it was stolen.

Police say a Texas man hopped in the cruiser after running out of the courthouse this morning to avoid arrest on a felony warrant.

Authorities say he stole the car of an officer who was chasing him.

Shortly after, the man crashed into an SUV and hit a fence.

Both the suspect and the driver of the SUV were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police are investigating whether the officer followed proper policy in securing the cruiser.
