Vancouver police say they have arrested someone for an alleged carjacking Sunday morning.
Police said around 8:40 a.m., a 58-year-old woman was forced out of her car near Cambie Street and West Broadway. She was delivering food and stopped for a red light, police said. That is when a man entered on the passenger side and tried to push her out of the vehicle.
Witnesses told police the woman was dragged for a short distance before the man took off in the car.
A bystander called 911 and was able to provide a description to Vancouver police officers, who arrived on the scene quickly, police said.
Some officers were able to attend to the victim while others searched for the suspect.
Just before 10 a.m., a Vancouver officer found the suspect and the car in Strathcona, police confirmed.
The victim was injured but it is expected she will recover, police said.
Chad Ayukawa, 48, has been charged with robbery, assault, and driving offences, police added.
