Man escapes after gunpoint carjacking
February 3, 2006


An employee of Catholic Charities was abducted at gunpoint while loading computer equipment into his car in Baltimore's Charles Village neighborhood about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday and later forced into its trunk by two carjackers, city police said yesterday. 

The victim, whose name was not divulged, escaped unhurt about 90 minutes later, police said. 

About an hour earlier, another man was accosted at gunpoint by two robbers who took $25 and his keys while he was in his car behind his home in the 2800 block of N. Calvert St., seven blocks away, police said. 

The abduction victim told detectives he was approached by two men in the 2300 block of N. Charles St., where the nonprofit has an office, threatened with a black semiautomatic handgun and forced to climb into the back seat of his green 1997 Toyota Avalon. 

He was driven to the Mount Pleasant Golf Course in Northeast Baltimore, where the men ordered him into the trunk and drove around for a short time, police said. About 1 p.m., the car stopped and the victim opened the trunk, escaped and called police. 

Police found the car shortly after 5 p.m. in the 1400 block of Carswell St. in Northeast Baltimore.
