PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WPRI) — An investigation is underway into a reported carjacking in Pawtucket Wednesday night.

Officers responded to a restaurant near Johnston and Clover streets around 10 p.m.

The victim told police he arranged to meet up with someone to purchase an iPad off of Facebook Marketplace when a Black man was let into the car, according to police.

The man then flashed a gun and told the victim to “give him everything,” according to police. The victim was then hit with the gun before he ran out of his car on foot.

Police said the victim’s car was located a few blocks away unoccupied.

No injuries were reported and police are still searching for the suspects involved.
