NEW YORK (PIX11) – Do you recognize this woman?
The NYPD released video and still images Thursday night of the female suspect who allegedly carjacked an Uber last week in Bellerose, Queens.
Police say the 52-year-old male driver was called to an address on 86th Avenue off 241st Street around 11:30 pm on Oct.10th.
Police say the suspect pulled open the front passenger door and jumped in the front seat. She then allegedly punched the victim in his face and body multiple times before biting him in the back and pushing him out of the car.
Police say the suspect drove westbound on 86th Avenue and collided with several vehicles and a tree.
She then crashed through a fence and hit a house on the corner of 86th Avenue and 241st Street.
Jaya Mishra, who lives in the house, tells PIX 11 News she was sleeping when she first heard two people fighting outside.
She says she then heard "just a crash, like they crashed the tree, then my fence, and they went over there in the corner, and there was my car over there in this corner."
The suspect then ran away. Police describe her as a female; she is believed to be 5 feet tall and weighs 180 pounds.
