9-Jan-20 – A 53-year-old physician was pushed from her vehicle by two carjackers who nearly ran her over as they sped away in River North on Sunday afternoon, according to Chicago police and witnesses. No one is in custody.

Police said the woman was seated in her parked Porsche Cayenne SUV with the engine running and the doors unlocked near West Illinois Street & North Franklin Street on January 5 at around 2:45 p.m. That’s when a man opened the front passenger door, started a conversation, and sat down in the passenger seat. He then implied he had a gun and told the woman to get out of her car.

The man then pushed the victim out the driver’s side door while another man entered the rear passenger seat. One of the men climbed into the driver’s seat and sped away with the driver’s door still open, causing the victim to fall to the ground.

Police said the woman suffered bruises and abrasions from the fall. She was transported to Rush University Medical Center, where her condition stabilized.

After the carjacking, according to police and witnesses, the vehicle sped west on Illinois Street, north on Orleans Street, west on Grand Avenue, and then north on Kingsbury Street.

The stolen SUV is dark blue with a license plate that begins with BW57.

Witnesses said the carjackers are two black men in their early 20s who wore acid wash jeans and black jackets.
