A man had a frightening run-in with some thieves early Monday morning.
At around 5am, the group approached a man while he was sitting in his car in the 1200 block of Sherburn Street.
One of the suspects asked the 29-year-old victim for a cigarette and some money. The victim cracked his window open slightly and offered a small amount of money.
After some time, the suspect began attacking the victim who reacted by opening his car door, pushing the suspect backward. The victim abandoned his car and ran away on foot.
Officers say the first suspect and a second male suspect were carrying knives as they chased the victim on foot. They eventually got into their own cars and continued chasing him.
A third female suspect was also seen entering the victim's car, according to officers.
The victim eventually went into business in the 1400 block of Notre Dame Avenue and called police.
The suspects then fled the area.
Officers say the victim was not injured during the incident. Some money and a mobile phone were stolen from his car.
The first suspect is described as male, Asian in appearance and around 30 years old. He is 5'8" in height and has a moustache, pock marked face, pierced nose and silver earrings in both ears.
