Narrative:

No abnormalities found on preflight. No abnormalities found on the standardized checklist items when performed and completed. Taxi to 25R for departure was uneventful. On the takeoff roll; all calls and checks were uneventful. Approximately 110 knots to 120 knots; first officer (pilot flying) noticed nose coming up. First officer pushed nose forward. No change in the inputs when full forward pressure was applied from the yoke. I called for abort and verbally called for 'my controls'. Positive transfer of controls were completed. First officer completed his duties as required by a rejected takeoff (rejected takeoff). ATC was notified; flight attendants were notified and the passengers were given an announcement of the issue at hand as required. All checklists were completed.we taxied to the ramp without further abnormalities. Brake temps were rising and a tow into the gate was requested and completed. We checked the bag loads and they were in compliance with the count on the weight and balance manifest. We were met at the gate with by the mechanic on duty along with his colleague. Maintenance checked and verified at their supervision that the exterior control surfaces were in alignment with the flight deck settings on the cg; flaps and slats. They then did a control check on the empennage and the mechanics informed us that the left elevator was stuck in the up position. We also confirmed this finding. A logbook entry was made in the logbook. Flight crews were de-briefed and the duty pilot was contacted.
