The incident happened between 1 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. Wednesday but it was reported later at 3 a.m.

The victim was threatened with a knife and taken to a hospital for evaluation, Sgt. Jason Coons said.

The stolen vehicle was seen on the east side of the Salt Lake Valley and an officer initiated a pursuit, but Sgt. Coons was not sure which agency that officer belongs to.

The chase ended at Redwood Road and I-80 when the driver of the stolen car was arrested.
