Millbrae Carjacking Suspect Sought After Allegedly Running Over Victim

A carjacking suspect ran a Millbrae man over with his own car Friday before fleeing the scene, according to the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.

The victim, a 64-year-old man, told deputies he had left his car running in his driveway near South Ashton Avenue and Millbrae avenues around 8:45 a.m. while he went inside his home to retrieve some forgotten items. When he returned, he heard a car door slam and saw a man sitting in the driver’s seat.

“The suspect struck the victim with the vehicle, knocking him down to the pavement and running him over,” sheriff’s officials said in a news release. “He was transported to the hospital with minor injuries.”

Police have since identified the suspect as Antonio Ambriz, 20, a man with acquaintances in Millbrae and Stockton.

“At this time Ambriz is still at large and should be considered dangerous,” officials said Friday. “If located, do not approach, but immediately contact your local law enforcement agency.”

Ambriz is described as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 9 inches tall and 165 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a short, cropped full beard. The vehicle is described as a 1991 white Acura Legend with a California license plate of 2WXC542.
