An Uber Eats delivery driver was injured after carjackers struck him with his own car on Sunday afternoon in St. Louis.
Around 3 p.m., a 26-year-old man left his 2020 Acura TLX running as he walked to a home in the 3800 block of Shenandoah to deliver an Uber Eats order. The driver informed police that he observed two men pull up in a blue car alongside the driver’s side and two white cars parked behind it. As one of the suspects got inside the Acura, the 26-year-old attempted to stop the carjacker by standing in front of it. Officials said the suspect then threatened the man with a gun as he lunged forward and struck him with his car.
The carjackers were able to flee but the 26-year-old suffered abrasions to his legs.
More details are expected to be released about the incident.
