A Peachtree City man was carjacked by a knife-wielding man early Monday evening in Fayetteville, according to a report from the Fayetteville Police Department.

John F. Stiler, 19, told police he was stopped at the intersection of Sharon Drive and Ga. Highway 54 when a black male entered his Toyota pickup on the passenger side. The suspect was armed with a knife and forced Stiler to drive to an unknown location in Atlanta, the report said.

The suspect then fled with money and other personal items taken from Stiler, who drove off and contacted law enforcement about the incident, according to the report.

The suspect was described as a black male with a thin build, short hair, a tattoo on the right forearm and gold in his front teeth.
