A 16-year-old, with several previous arrests in multiple districts across Baltimore, was arrested after an 83-year-old woman was carjacked on Monday.
Police say on Nov. 11 around 2:50 p.m., officers went to the 6700 block of Park Heights Avenue for a report of a carjacking.
Once there, officers say they found an 83-year-old woman with multiple injuries to the forearms and knees.
Medics responded to the location to treat her, according to officials.
Police say investigators learned that the 83-year-old woman was retrieving her belongings from her vehicle when two suspects approached her.
One of the suspects grabbed her out of the vehicle, throwing her to the ground before driving away in her vehicle, officials say.
A description of the 83-year-old woman’s vehicle was immediately dispatched over the air, and at approximately 4:30 p.m., officers say they were able to find it in the 2800 block of Rosalind Avenue.
The driver of the vehicle, along with two unidentified passengers, exited the vehicle and ran.
Following a brief foot pursuit, officers say they arrested the 16-year-old driver.
The 16-year-old driver, who has had previous assault, larceny, stolen auto and robbery arrests in the Central, Southwest, Northwest, and Northern Districts, was transported to the Juvenile Justice Center, where he was processed and charged as a juvenile for robbery.
