( Fort Wright ) 46-year-old Jeffery Martin of Florence is at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center after breaking both of his ankles while running from police. Investigators say Martin tried to steal golf balls from the Wal Mart in Fort Wright and then carjacked a woman at knifepoint.

Police began pursuing Martin a short time later and followed him across the river into Cincinnati. He crashed on Third Street and Central and then tried to jump over a railing to a parking lot 30 feet below. He's being treated at the hospital before being taken to jail.
