Niles police reported that a woman was dragged, punched and carjacked on Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. in the Golf Mill Shopping Center parking lot.
The 48-year-old woman told police she parked her SUV, a 2019 BMW X5,
in the northwest parking lot near AMC Theater, on the Greenwood Street side of Golf Mill.
As the woman began to exit her vehicle, she was pulled from the vehicle by a male suspect, according to police. They struggled, and the suspect punched the woman in the face and threw her to the ground before driving off in her vehicle.
The woman sustained non-life-threatening injuries during the incident and first responders took her by ambulance to a hospital, police said. They described the suspect as a male, between about 20 and 25 years old, thin build, and wearing dark-colored pants.
Police are investigating.
