Investigators said that the men allegedly approached a 49-year-old woman driving a white Mercedes Benz and assaulted her before taking her keys.

Police said the suspects attempted to leave in the woman’s vehicle, but a bystander stopped her vehicle behind the Mercedes, which prevented them from leaving with the car. The two men then allegedly fled on foot.

Officers are asking for the public’s help in identifying the two suspects and locating the stolen vehicle.

Both suspects are described as men aged 20 to 25 years old with a slim build and a height of approximately five feet 10 inches. One suspect was wearing a light grey hooded sweatshirt and khaki pants at the time of the alleged incidents, while the other was wearing a black Roots hooded sweatshirt and black track pants.
