A man was the victim of an armed carjacking Sunday night in East Liberty.

Police were sent to Whole Foods in the 5700 block of Penn Avenue around 9:45 p.m.

The man told officers he was sitting inside his vehicle in the parking garage when a man opened the driver's side door, pointed a gun at him and forced him out of the white Audi station wagon.

The actor threw the victim's cell phone out of the car before fleeing.

A short time later, Chipotle in the 1000 block of Freeport Road was robbed by a man who put a gun to a worker's back and demanded cash from the register.

No one was injured in either incident.

Police have not confirmed if they are connected.
