A Newark, Delaware, man was arrested Tuesday night after allegedly trying to carjack an off-duty police officer in an unmarked police vehicle, according to police.

The Newark Police Department said officers responded to East Main Street at about 8:40 p.m. Tuesday, after a report of a carjacking.

The victim told police that while he was in his vehicle, a man walked up, opened the car door and told him to get out while trying to physically remove him from inside.

After a brief scuffle, the victim was able to remove the suspect and lock the car doors.

Minutes later, police said, an off-duty Newark police officer who was driving in an unmarked police vehicle was stopped on East Main Street, when he was approached by a man, later identified as Mark Tannen, 22, of Newark.

Tannen allegedly opened the police vehicle door and told the off-duty police officer to get out of the vehicle.

The officer identified himself to Tannen, who fled on foot.

Police said the officer chased after Tannen on foot, and with the assistance of other officers, Tannen was apprehended without incident.

The victim of the first carjacking attempt positively identified Tannen as the suspect, police said.

Neither victim was injured in the incidents, police said, and a weapon was not used.

Tannen was taken to police headquarters and charged with two counts of second-degree attempted robbery.

He then appeared before a Justice of the Peace on video and ordered to be held on $5,000 bail, before being taken to the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution in Wilmington, Delaware.

The Vermont Senate gave final approval on Wednesday to a bill that would raise the marriage age to 18, which supporters say would reduce domestic violence and unwanted pregnancies and improve the education and lives of teenagers.

Under existing law, Vermonters aged 16 and 17 can get married with the consent of one parent and the child doesn’t have to consent themselves, said Rep. Carole Ode, a Democrat, and lead sponsor of the legislation.

If Republican Gov. Phil Scott signs the Act to Ban Child Marriage into law, Vermont would join six other states in the Northeast and Minnesota that do not allow marriage before the age of 18, according to the nonprofit organization Unchained at Last.

The New Jersey-based group has been lobbying to end child marriage across the country, calling it a "human rights abuse." It says between 2000 and 2018 nearly 300,000 children were married in the U.S., and most of the marriages were between girls and adult men. In Vermont, 289 children under the age of 18 were married between 2000 and 2021 and 80% of them were girls married to adult men, according to the organization.

Opponents say it's unfair to teenagers who become pregnant to not allow them to marry.
