Burbank police say a man was the alleged victim of an attempted robbery and carjacking on Tuesday.

The man then jumped back into his car and sped away, Green said.
The would-be carjacker is described as a Latino in his 20s with a shaved head. He was seen exiting a dark-colored sedan prior to the incident, according to Green.
