MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa — A 33-year-old Marshalltown man is facing multiple felony charges after he allegedly assaulted a victim, stole their car, and led law enforcement on a high-speed pursuit, police said.
On Wednesday evening, Marshalltown Police responded to a robbery report on West Main Street around 8 p.m. The victim told officers that Antonio Lizarde attacked them and stole their vehicle. During the incident, Lizarde reportedly tried to run the victim over, but they escaped with minor injuries.

Lizarde is now facing the following charges:
Robbery – 1st Degree
Attempted Murder
Eluding
Driving While Barred
OWI – 1st Offense
