The offender then directed the victim to hand over “everything you got”, and ran off with the man’s cellphone, wallet, and two debit cards.
Police described him as thin, about 5 feet 5 to 5 feet 7, and dressed in a black hooded sweatshirt and a dark-colored ski mask.
It is not yet known whether or not the victim in this incident was a Temple University Student. His wallet, phone and vehicle were taken. Police say a 24-year-old man was walking north on the 1800 block of North 15th Street when he was approached by two men, one of whom was armed with a gun.
The students were not injured.
The victim, who was hospitalized in stable condition, reportedly told investigators he knew the assailants by name.
Police are investigating the carjacking and are searching for stolen vehicle.
