A man leaving a store was confronted by a suspect who held a knife to him Sunday morning and demanded his car keys in Fresno County.
Deputies responded to the altercation just after 8 a.m. at Saber’s Market, located at Prospect and Jensen Avenues.
The victim told deputies that as he was leaving Sabers, the suspect approached him, demanded his keys, and a brief struggle ensued.
The suspect fled in the vehicle, but deputies found it unoccupied a short time later, 1 1/2 miles away.
Deputies reported no injuries, and no suspect description was provided.
Detectives are investigating the carjacking and will review the store’s surveillance video.
Anyone with information about the carjacking should call the Sheriff’s Office at 559-600-3111.
