Two men made off with a man’s car and left him with a big bump on the head in an armed carjacking in South Seattle early Wednesday.
Police say the man was parking his car near his residence in the 3300 block of York Road South.
The victim said he first spotted the two suspects in a newer-model Volvo about 200 feet from his vehicle.
The victim tells police the men approached his vehicle and demanded his keys, which he turned over when one of the suspects struck him across the face with a handgun.
One of the suspects then entered his black 2004 Chrysler Sebring 4-door sedan and drove off. The other suspect left the scene in the Volvo.
Police were not able to locate the two suspects. The man with the handgun is described as a black male in his 30’s, around 6′ tall, 270 pounds. The other suspect who the victim believed to be armed, but could not make out the exact type of weapon, is said to be a black male in his 20’s.
Police ask anyone with information to call 911 or the Seattle Police Department.
