"Then I just tried to jump out the window, and I only made it halfway out the window before they started grabbing my pants," McArthur said.
He said the car began moving as he was hanging halfway out the window. McArthur fell completely out of the vehicle when his pants came off.
He injured both arms.
Police are now searching for the suspects, who got away with $3,000 worth of tickets and McArthur's cellphone.
Police said the suspects -- three men and a woman -- were in a black four-door sedan.
