The driver was taken to an area hospital, where he was listed in serious condition. No arrests have been made in the case.
A few hours later, a food delivery driver had his vehicle hijacked in the 7200 block of South University, according to police.
In all, 352 carjackings had been reported in the city since Jan. 1, and residents are increasingly fearful that they could be targeted next.
Sylvia Guerrero saw firsthand how terrifying the experience can be, as she was thrown to the ground by her hair by the assailant. The incident was caught on camera, as Guerrero’s vehicle was stolen from the front of her friend’s house in the 6700 block of South Kostner Avenue.
