Police say a man is injured after a person, posing as a solicitor for a solar power company, carjacked him at gunpoint in Lower Merion Township on Monday.
The victim was treated at a nearby hospital for moderate injuries and authorities say he is expected to be okay.
Police describe the suspect as a Black man, between the ages of 20-30, approximately 6’1", with an athletic build. The suspect obscured his face with a surgical mask, but police say he was wearing a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt, a dark jacket with writing over the left side of the chest, dark pants, and dark-colored shoes. He was also reportedly wearing a lanyard with an ID card pouch when he first approached the victim.
The suspect is considered armed and dangerous, and authorities are urging anyone who may recognize the suspect, or has information regarding this incident to contact the Lower Merion Police Investigations Unit.
