A man waiting at an Elk Grove stoplight Monday evening was attacked and pulled from his car by two unknown suspects, police say.

The 20-year-old driver was stopped at Franklin Boulevard and Laguna Park Drive around 7:15 p.m. when someone walked up to the driver's side window and punched him in the face, an Elk Grove Police Department crime log states.

Police say the suspect opened the driver's door, and a second person wearing a white mask approached the passenger's side of the car. The first suspect unbuckled the driver's seatbelt and pulled him out of the car, according to the crime log.

"[The suspect] let go of [the victim] and [the victim] began running to his vehicle, which was now rolling into the intersection," the crime log states. "The suspects fled on foot in an unknown direction and [the victim] drove away."

No description of the suspects was available, police say.

Thanks for the suggestion. The City is currently studying a new interchange off 99 and Whitelock,Read More and the project is in our General Plan. We’re also updating the Elk Grove Blvd. onramp—currently one of the most outdated on 99 in the region. Work will begin this summer.

An overpass and off/on ramps will be built at Whitelock Parkway after the mall is built, whichRead More should take place after the soccer stadium is built, which should take place after the city secures a professional soccer team. Elk Grove better make sure the professional soccer team is a women's team, or else LaWanna Montgomery will be mad.

Why not down to Grantline and then head back north along the freeway? Plus Kammerer will eventuallyRead More be widened all the way to I-5 and commuters can use that too. Take Grantline to Kammerer to Bruceville.
