A 28-year-old woman was carjacked Tuesday night in West Town on the West Side.

About 10:15 p.m., she was parking her black Range Rover in the 700 block of North Wood Street, when she was approached on foot by a man and woman who flashed a gun and opened the woman’s driver-side door, Chicago police said.

The woman opened the 28-year-old’s passenger-side door and grabbed her purse while the man pulled her from the SUV and told her to leave, police said. The man and woman then sped from the scene.
