A silver Hyundai pulled up. A man go out and approached him, opened his driver’s door and tried snatching his phone. The victim wouldn’t give it up. The crook’s friends then got out of the Hyundai, pulled the victim from his car, and made off with it.
The crooks drove the car to a parking lot on the two-hundred block of Quinnipiac Avenue. Coincidentally, the victim’s daughter lives there. She happened to be outside and saw her father’s car being driven by a stranger. She confronts him and a struggle ensues. The carjacker flees and in doing so, drags the woman. He bails out of the car and takes off on foot along with the three remaining perps in the Hyundai.
Both father and daughter were taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Cops took both vehicles for forensic processing. The Hyundai was a reported stolen car from the previous night.
