What started as a stop at Lowe\u2019s turned into a violent carjacking in Mill Basin \u2014 and now police are asking for help finding the people behind it.<\/p>\n
Investigators say it happened Wednesday just after 4:20 p.m. in the parking lot outside the Lowe\u2019s on Avenue U.<\/p>\n
A 72-year-old woman and a 48-year-old woman were loading items into their Toyota Corolla when four young men walked up.<\/p>\n
Police say one of them got into the driver\u2019s seat and drove off.<\/p>\n
As the car pulled away, it hit the 72-year-old woman, who was sitting on her walker, and knocked the other woman to the ground.<\/p>\n
Three of the men took off in the stolen car. A fourth left in a black Nissan.<\/p>\n
Both women had minor injuries and did not go to the hospital.<\/p>\n
Police released video showing the four men walking near the store\u2019s garden center before the car was taken. Investigators say that\u2019s the group they\u2019re trying to identify.<\/p>\n
News 12 also saw multiple security cameras throughout the parking lot, which could help piece together exactly what happened.<\/p>\n
Right now, police say the group is believed to be between 18 and 20 years old, and they\u2019re still trying to track them down.<\/p>\n
