Brooklyn Park police are searching for a suspect after an attempted carjacking just before midnight on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Investigators say that the victim was attacked from behind and pistol-whipped but the man was able to get away with his car keys.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell I feel like he was gonna shoot me. So I blacked out when he hit me with the pistol, I don\u2019t know which way I ran to, so all I see is when I was blacked out I see the light, the car and I just took off,\u201d the victim said.<\/p>\n
The victim said he was taken to the hospital where he was treated for lacerations to his face and the back of his head.<\/p>\n
According to police, the attempted carjacking comes as Minneapolis police have seen a nearly 28% spike in car thefts this year. <\/p>\n
