Authorities in Essex County are looking for several armed suspects wanted for a violent armed carjacking in Newark Thursday.
It happened around 1:30 a.m. in the single-digit block of Summit Avenue.
A preliminary investigation indicated that four black male suspects approached the victim near their vehicle and demanded personal possessions.
During the incident, the suspect reportedly attacked, then pushed the male victim to the ground and took his silver Chrysler 300.
Police say the car has reported PA plate number "LTT-8476". Authorities believe a dark-colored Audi with additional suspects who played a role in the carjacking fled the scene after the incident.
The victim did not suffer severe injuries, and the incident is under an active investigation.
