City Council Member Jamal Osman says he's OK after being carjacked in south Minneapolis
City Council Member Jamal Osman says he’s OK after being carjacked in south Minneapolis
Minneapolis City Council Member Jamal Osman says he is “safe and unharmed” after he was carjacked Monday evening.
Osman, who last week was reelected to represent Ward 6, said the incident happened near the intersection of East Lake Street and Portland Avenue while he was talking on the phone with his sister.
“Minneapolis Police responded quickly to the incident. I want to thank them — and also Chief [Brian] O’Hara and Mayor [Jacob] Frey — for reaching out and checking in tonight,” Osman wrote in a statement.
Osman said police believe another person and their child were targeted in a separate carjacking earlier in the evening. The suspects in both incidents appeared to be a pair of juveniles.
