Investigators said the car was running at the time of the carjacking and the victim tried to get the suspect out of his vehicle but was shoved back.
The suspect then showed the man a gun and fled the area in the vehicle, police said.
Police also said investigators believe a second male suspect was waiting nearby in a white truck or SUV and left the area following the first suspect.
The first suspect is described as a man in his 30s wearing dark clothes.
“Investigators are appealing to any witnesses who have not yet spoken with police to come forward,” police said. “Officers would also like to speak with anyone who may have video surveillance or dashcam footage of the incident. “
