Police searching for suspects in 2nd Avenue carjacking

The 1990s may be having a cultural revival with "Love Story" — but not every throwback is welcome. 

Police are searching for four suspects in a carjacking involving a rideshare driver last week in the East Village. 

According to authorities, the 51-year-old driver was sitting in his vehicle near Third Street and Second Avenue around 1:30 a.m. on March 23 when a group approached and asked for a ride. When he declined, one of the individuals displayed a firearm, and the group stole the vehicle, police said. 

The suspects drove off, and the car was later recovered in Newark, per media reports. 

The driver was not injured. 

The NYPD released the video clip via X... Tips can be shared confidentially with Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or online.
