Sacramento Fire EMTs apply first aid to injured fingers of the driver of the van that was almost car-jacked.

A  suspect was apprehended not too long after an attempted car-jacking/robbery of the driver and passenger of a van along Jibboom St in north Sacramento this evening around 8pm.

According to an eyewitness, the suspect was hiding in the interior rear of the van. When the driver and his wife got into the van, he apparently got hold of their cash and then fled down the street. He dropped a gun.

The police helicopter and patrol units were searching the area, including Natomas Park, for the suspect after he fled the scene.

A finger(s) of the male victim was injured during the attempted heist. It was given treatment on the scene.

Sacramento Police K9 unit was called in to assist with the search.
