OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Police have arrested the driver of an ambulance that had been reported stolen from an Oklahoma City hospital.

Authorities say the driver led police on a brief chase on the Kilpatrick Turnpike before pulling over the ambulance and surrendering without incident.

The ambulance was reported stolen at about 5 a.m. Friday from St. Anthony Hospital in downtown Oklahoma City. Authorities described the suspect as a woman wearing an orange shirt, but have not released any names.

Officers say medics were taking a patient into the emergency room when the woman took off with the ambulance.
