BURBANK VILLAGE -- A man said he was carjacked at gunpoint in the

parking structure of the AMC Burbank 6 Theatres after a man told him to

get out of his sports utility vehicle or he would be shot.

The 29-year-old Burbank man told police he had just dropped his

brother off on the first floor of the structure when the man approached

his vehicle.

The driver told police the man brandished a blue-steel semiautomatic

handgun and told him to get out of the 1994 Chevrolet Blazer.

Nine minutes later, police said the alleged carjacker rammed into a

woman's car in the 4000 block of Hollywood Way, then took off.

The parking structure appears to be a hotbed for carjackings.

On Nov. 29, a 72-year-old Burbank man's sports utility vehicle was

carjacked from the third floor of the same parking structure by a man

wielding a knife, according to police.
