A Florida man got more than he bargained for after being carjacked due to a match on a dating app, police said.

According to an affidavit obtained by FOX 35 Orlando, the two drove to a nearby park in the victim’s 2013 Mazda CX9. The park was closed when the couple arrived, so they returned to their apartment.
