A 27-year-old man in St. Louis tried to carjack two police officers early Saturday morning . . . while they were in a FULLY MARKED POLICE CAR. 

He stepped into traffic . . . walked to the passenger side of the police car . . . and pointed a handgun at them.

Fortunately, the officers say they were able to “maneuver” out of the way.  That’s when the carjacker realized it was a police car . . . and he BOLTED.  The officers chased him, caught him, and arrested him.

No one was injured.
