Deaf Man Carjacked at Knifepoint
Police are searching for a man who carjacked a driver at knifepoint Sunday night.
According to officers, the driver was a deaf man who could not speak. He was traveling on the 900 block of Roosevelt Street, just south of downtown, around 11:00 p.m. Police say he offered a ride to a man who was walking down the side of the street.
Moments later, the suspect pulled a knife and demanded the car, officers say. The driver fought back, but was forced out of the car. He got caught on the vehicle and the thief dragged him down the street before he could get free.
Investigators do not have a good description of the suspect at this time.
The victim, who was treated for minor injuries, says his car is a 2006 tan Chevrolet Cavalier with black bumpers.
