Posted on by

Winnipeg police say they’re looking for a suspect after a random carjacking early Sunday morning.

Officers were called to the intersection of Sherbrook Street and Ross Avenue just after 2 a.m., where they found a 39-year-old victim who had been attacked with bear spray.

Police said the man had been waiting in his vehicle for a friend when someone opened his driver’s side door, sprayed him, and pulled him and his dog out of the car, before stealing the vehicle and running over the man in the process.
