The carjacking happened Tuesday afternoon at Rouge Park on Detroit's west side.
Brandon Lamar Williams, 24, allegedly approached two men inside a 2015 Ford Fusion while holding a revolver in each hand, according to the FBI. Williams announced a hold-up and demanded an Apple Watch, two rings and a black bag from the first victim, according to federal court records.
At one point, Williams pointed a gun at the second victim and squeezed the trigger three times, the FBI said. The gun, however, failed to fire. Williams pointed a gun at the first man's neck and told the men to "get out and leave the laptop," according to court records.
As the first man exited the car, Williams allegedly struck him in the face with the gun, breaking his nose. Now behind the wheel, Williams tried to drive away, but couldn't, the FBI said. He forgot the parking brake.

A witness unaware of the carjacking saw Williams struggling to drive away, approached the car and told him about the parking brake.
Williams pointed a revolver at the Good Samaritan, the FBI said. The Samaritan raised his hands in the air, court records show, before Williams spoke.
"Oh, you good, I only rob white people," he allegedly said, according to court records.
Williams soon ditched the Fusion and got into a Jeep Liberty, which he had parked nearby. Backing up, Williams hit the Fusion and got stuck on a median, according to court records.
