Chicago police are investigating a carjacking reported in Wrigleyville Monday evening.
A woman told officers that she was standing next to her idling Toyota in the 3600 block of North Wayne around 8:45 p.m. when a man jumped out of a passing Jeep, pushed her, and drove off with her car.
Cops recovered the woman’s car near Addison and Ashland about 10 minutes later, officers said.
The victim told police that the offender was a short black male with a “wide face” and a dark hoodie. He got out of an older model silver Jeep, she said.
