"The victim told officers he was walking away from his parked and idling car when another car drove up and a man got out. The man then hopped into the victim's car, police said. The victim tried to pull the man out of the car, which led to a struggle. The man then drew a knife and lunged at the victim, according to police. The victim was not injured."
"A months-long investigation led to the identification of the primary suspect as a 25-year-old man and the driver of the other car as a 22-year-old man, both of Oakland. By then, the primary suspect was already in custody for unrelated charges, police said, adding that the crimes of carjacking and assault with a deadly weapon were added to his booking sheet. Members of the California National Guard helped police find the 22-year-old man, who was arrested Wednesday in Oakland."
