According to preliminary information, the incident happened shortly after 10 p.m. when officers were dispatched to reports of a carjacking in progress in the Journal Square section of the city.
Investigators said approximately five males exited a vehicle armed with handguns and approached the victim before demanding the keys to a white BMW 330.
The suspects then fled the area in the stolen vehicle.
Authorities said no injuries were reported during the encounter.
Police later tracked the vehicle toward Newark, where officers located the BMW abandoned and unoccupied on Camden Street.
The suspects remain at large as the investigation continues.
