(02-05) 14:21 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- A man was arrested early today after he allegedly carjacked a woman in San Francisco, crashed the car in Marin County and then carjacked a motorist who came to his aid, authorities said.

Mynor Aguirre, 30, of San Francisco began his alleged crime spree when, according to the California Highway Patrol, he stole a woman's 2005 Honda at about 3:20 a.m.

Aguirre was driving the Honda when he crashed and rolled over at about 4:50 a.m. on a frontage road off Highway 101 near Tiburon Boulevard, the CHP said. A motorist stopped to assist Aguirre, but the suspect stole his 2006 Infiniti M45, the CHP said.

A description of the carjacked Infiniti was broadcast to area law-enforcement agencies.

Shortly before 5 a.m., a Marin County sheriff's deputy spotted the Infiniti traveling north on Highway 101 near the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge and arrested him without incident.

Although police were told the suspect in the San Francisco carjacking was armed with a shotgun, no gun was found when Aguirre was stopped, the CHP said.

Aguirre was arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft, driving under the influence, misdemeanor hit-and-run, assault with a deadly weapon and carjacking. He was booked at Marin County Jail.
