Chaos ensued on the South Side this morning when a man allegedly strong-armed a woman out of her vehicle at gunpoint, according to authorities. The San Antonio police came upon a troubling scene around 8 a.m. on Curtis Street where a distraught female victim reported being ousted from her Chevy Trax SUV with minor injuries, as per KSAT.
Describing her harrowing experience, the woman recounted how the assailant had approached her, gun in hand, and bluntly demanded she exit her car. After pushing the woman out, he sped away with the vehicle. The pursuit turned cinematic as a helicopter deployed by the police trailed the stolen vehicle, witnessing the suspect pick up another woman en route.
The drama peaked when the pair abruptly abandoned the car at a dead-end street. Both were apprehended in the 6800 block of Atlas, a short distance from where officers recovered the stolen car off Linn Road, as reported by KSAT. Clearly, the case had evolved from a simple carjacking into a full-blown chase that spread across the South Side.
The fate of the man, now nestled in police custody, remains uncertain as charges have yet to be announced. Wrapped up in the uncertainty is the second woman's role in the carjacking incident, as police have not disclosed whether she will be facing any charges. As the investigation unfolds, the community reckons with the violent disruption on an otherwise average Tuesday morning.
