Toronto Maple Leafs star Mitch Marner carjacked at gunpoint, per report
Toronto Maple Leafs star Mitch Marner was robbed at gunpoint Monday night in a parking lot. The right winger's car was stolen.
Just 48 hours after being eliminated from the NHL playoffs, Marner and a friend were at a movie theater in Toronto when three mask-wearing suspects – two with handguns and one with a knife – approached the car and told Marner that they wanted the vehicle.
"Go ahead and take it," Marner, 25, said according to Toronto Sun.
