Once he failed to show the gun, the victim fought him off, and he took off on foot.
A few minutes later, the man arrived at another vehicle which was parked behind a business. He allegedly pulled a knife from his waistband and demanded the victim turn over the vehicle.
The victim got out of the vehicle before running into a nearby store. The suspect then hightailed it on foot.
Police say no injuries were reported from either incident.
They are describing the suspect as being around 18 to 20 years old, five feet nine inches tall, with a slim build. He was last spotted wearing a dark blue hat and denim jacket.
Police are asking anyone with information or that may be able to identify the suspect to call 519-570-9777 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
