After a brief foot chase the suspect was apprehended by two Wareham Officers.
The juvenile is being charged with larceny and reckless operation of a motor vehicle, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and receiving a stolen motor vehicle.
The owner of the car was treated and released from Tobey Hospital.
