It happened in the parking lot of Calf Pen Meadow School Sunday.

Police responded to the school at 1 p.m. on Welches Point Road regarding a reported carjacking. They say an Infiniti entered the parking lot and one of the occupants got out and entered an unoccupied Volkswagen that was also in the lot.

Police say the Volkswagen's owner saw his vehicle being taken and ran after it. The Infiniti then struck the man, causing minor injuries.

The Volkswagen was later recovered in New Haven following a motor vehicle accident.
