DAYTON — A man accused of running from police in a stolen car is now facing more charges.

As reported on News Center 7 at 6, Darius Woods is accused of hitting a nurse and fighting with officers after being brought to the hospital for treatment following his arrest.

Woods along with Jamonae Foster are accused of terrorizing a man at gunpoint after luring him into a residence on Midway Avenue.

The man told police the two sped off in his car after forcing him out.

Woods crashed that car into a tree while trying to run from police and was later tased.

He was taken to the hospital for treatment.

But new documents allege that Woods continued to cause problems even after he was in handcuffs.

Two Dayton officers were on guard when Woods was returning from a bathroom break, according to a police report.

He began arguing and fighting with the officer who was trying to get him back into his hospital bed restraint.

“Woods began screaming and failing around the bed. Woods attempted to bite at my hand on his right shoulder ... a nurse informed us that Woods had kicked her in the lower right abdomen one time as she went to grab his feet at the foot of the bed,” the police report states.

Woods has not been formally charged yet for what happened here as police and prosecutors review the case.

He is facing nine charges for the alleged kidnapping, chase and crash.

News Center 7 will continue to follow this story.
