Maple Leafs star Mitch Marner comments on armed carjacking incident

Toronto Maple Leafs star forward Mitch Marner spoke on Wednesday for the first time since he was carjacked while heading to a movie on Monday evening, releasing the following statement on social media:

According to initial reports and later confirmed by police and the Maple Leafs, the All-Star winger was robbed in the west end of Toronto by three suspects carrying two handguns and a knife.

Per the Toronto Sun, the suspects approached Marner and his friends wearing masks, demanding the keys to his Range Rover.

Thankfully, the group did not have any guns pointed directly at them, according to the report.

Interestingly, the Sun’s source relayed that the carjackers did not know their target was Marner, and were simply interested in his luxury vehicle.

As far as his well-being, Marner was not physically hurt, though he was reportedly “shaken up” by the altercation.
