■A Santa Monica man was arrested Aug. 12 for attempting to steal a car from two men on the 600 block of Arizona Avenue.

Freddy Doering, 21, of Santa Monica, was identified as one of two men who allegedly attempted to carjack a Honda civic at about 1 a.m. The victims said they were walking to their parked car when they heard a voice from behind. As they approached the car and the driver entered the vehicle, one of the suspects demanded the keys. He then allegedly kicked the door and told the second suspect to “get a gun.” The second suspect punched the victim’s friend in the face and then brandished a 6” folding knife. He scratched the car’s hood with the knife and then smashed the windshield. Both suspects fled on foot. At 2:20 a.m., officers noticed two men standing on the sidewalk in the 1400 block of Lincoln Boulevard, one of whom matched the description from the earlier incident. Doering was identified by the victim as one of the alleged car jackers. He was arrested for attempted carjack-ing and booked into the Santa Monica Jail. His bail was set at $100,000\. The second suspect was not found. He is described as a Latino male between 18 and 19 years old, 5’6” tall and thin.
