A Framingham man was unharmed Wednesday afternoon when two men attempted to carjack him on Edgewood Road in the Cochituate area of Wayland.

According to a press release, police responded to the area of Edgewood Road and Ridgewood Road Wednesday afternoon after receiving reports of a possible fight in progress.
