BRONX, NY — Police are searching for three armed suspects after a man was carjacked at gunpoint while stopped at a red light in the Bronx early Sunday morning.

According to investigators, the robbery happened at around 12:35 a.m. on June 28, 2026, at the intersection of Webster Avenue and East 184th Street.

Police said a 40-year-old man was sitting inside his black 2021 Mercedes-Benz when three armed men approached the vehicle. The suspects allegedly pointed firearms at the victim before forcing him out of the driver's seat.

The trio then stole the victim's cellphone, a gold chain, and approximately $140 in cash before driving away in his Mercedes.

Authorities later recovered the stolen vehicle in the vicinity of Folin Street and Tiebout Avenue, but the suspects had already fled the area.
