Syracuse (WSYR-TV) -- Syracuse police are investigating a carjacking at a Sunoco gas station on West Genesee and North Geddes streets.

Police say a 29-year-old man was pumping gas when he was approached by another man who offered to sell him marijuana. When the victim declined, the suspect pushed him, warned he had a gun and jumped into his car and took off. The suspect only drove about three blocks before abandoning the car, police said.

The suspect has been described as man in his 30s, between 5-foot-8 and 5-foot-10-inches tall, with a medium build. The suspect was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and jeans at the time of the incident.

If you know anything that could help police in this case, call 442-5222. All calls will be kept confidential.
