Two men snatched a 22-year-old motorist from an SUV Saturday while the vehicle was stopped in the Grantville community of San Diego, authorities said.
The carjacking occurred about 4:45 a.m. in the area of Twain Avenue and Mission Gorge Road, where the vehicle had stopped and one of two suspects struck the 22-year-old man with a handgun, the San Diego Police Department reported.
The suspects got into the white Nissan Murano and drove away southbound on Mission Gorge Road.
“The victim told officers the vehicle belonged to a friend and he could not provide the vehicle license plate information,” according to a police statement.
Paramedics transported the 22-year-old man, with minor injuries, to a hospital.
