Toronto Police said officers responded to a call for a vehicle theft just before 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 27 in the Front St. E. and Bayview Ave. area.

Police allege two carjackers parked their vehicle in a parking lot and waited for a victim. They approached the victim as he was walking out of the parking lot and rushed him, assaulted him and then took his keys.

Cops say the car thieves then went back to the victim’s vehicle and drove off with it.
