A Brampton man, 27-year-old Lovepreet Mann, has been charged with half a dozen offenses following a series of attempted carjackings and a stabbing incident that occurred last weekend. According to Peel Regional Police, the suspect initially tried to steal a car with its owner inside, near the intersection of Clockwork Drive and Creditview Road around 10 p.m. on September 6.
During the incident, the suspect allegedly stabbed the victim before fleeing the scene on foot. The victim was taken to a local trauma center and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
The suspect then allegedly broke into a nearby home, kicking in the front door and demanding the residents hand over their car keys. However, he was unsuccessful in this attempt and fled the scene. Despite his failed attempts, the suspect continued his spree by attempting to carjack two other vehicles in the area without success, with none of the victims sustaining any physical injuries.
On September 7, investigators identified Mann and made an arrest at a Brampton residence. He has been charged with three counts of robbery, aggravated assault, weapons dangerous, and uttering threats, according to police.
