According to a preliminary investigation, officials with the Elizabeth Police Department said the victim exited his vehicle and entered the restaurant to pick up food.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When he returned, he observed an unknown male attempting to steal his vehicle.<\/p>\n

Police said the victim opened the driver\u2019s door, at which point the suspect pushed him out of the vehicle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the suspect fled the scene, the victim was run over by his own car.
\u00a0<\/p>\n

The victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to University Hospital in Newark for treatment.<\/p>\n
