MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis City Council Member Jamal Osman said he is OK after being involved in an alleged carjacking Monday evening.

Osman, who represents Ward 6, said in a statement on social media that the carjacking happened near Portland Avenue and Lake Street around 8 p.m. He said he was making a call to his sister when it happened.

He said Minneapolis police were quick to respond.
