MAN HOSPITALIZED AFTER CAR JACKING
On Wednesday, October 24, 2007 at 1:05 a.m., the victim was driving his car along Ole Towne Lane in the Carriage Hill section of Virginia Beach. He was flagged down by the suspect in the 800 block of Ole Towne Court. The victim recognized the suspect as someone who frequents the area so he stopped.
The suspect asked the victim for a cigarette and then for money. As the victim was reaching into his pocket he was attacked by the suspect and another man who had come up to his vehicle. Both suspects pulled the victim from the car. During the struggle, the victim was stabbed multiple times on various parts of his body. The suspects fled the scene in the victim’s vehicle.
Following the attack, the victim ran to a residence two blocks away seeking help. A resident called E-911 and police and Emergency Medical Services personnel were dispatched. The victim was transported to an area hospital where he remains in stable condition.
Police are still looking for the victim’s vehicle, a gold Ford Focus four door, bearing Virginia license plates JNJ-9878.
The first suspect is described as a light skinned black male in his early 20’s. He possibly had a moustache. He is 6’1” tall and weighs approximately 150-160pounds with a slim build. The description of the second suspect, a black male, is vague.
