He put an object against her side, which the woman believed to be a gun, and made her put her key into the ignition, O'Brien said. She was then forced out of the car and the man drove eastbound on 119th Street.
The suspect is described as a black man between 18 and 25 years old with a bald head, O'Brien said. He was wearing jeans and a black puffy coat.
