Two men carjacked a woman of her Mercedes SUV in Uptown on Thursday afternoon, then managed to slip away from police who tried to pull them over on the South Side later in the evening, according to a police spokesman and a source.
Around 2:20 p.m., a 20-year-old woman was sitting inside her car in the 4200 block of North Kenmore. A man entered the SUV from the passenger’s side and ordered the woman to get out. Another man took the woman out by force, demanded her keys, got into the car, and drove away, according to police. The woman ran from the scene.
