Calgary police are asking the public to help find a man accused in two violent attempted carjackings last week. <\/p>\n
Around 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 10, a woman was sitting in the driver\u2019s seat of her vehicle near 9 Avenue and 1 Street SE when a man opened her door and threatened to kill her. <\/p>\n
Police say she was able to get away from her vehicle with her keys in hand. <\/p>\n
The man got in the vehicle but wasn\u2019t able to get it started. <\/p>\n
He then got out and started approaching other vehicles in oncoming traffic. <\/p>\n
About 45 minutes later, the same man approached another parked vehicle on 7 Street and 6 Avenue SW and opened the driver\u2019s door, forcibly removing the woman before getting inside. <\/p>\n
Again, the man wasn\u2019t able to start the vehicle because the driver still had the keys. <\/p>\n
He stole the woman\u2019s purse before running away. <\/p>\n
The suspect is described as 30 to 40 years old, with light skin, short brown hair, and a beard. <\/p>\n
At the time of the incidents, he was wearing a black ball cap with a light-coloured brim, black track pants with white accents, black sneakers, and a black \u2018Reebok\u2019 hoodie with a white triangle logo on the front. <\/p>\n
