Saint John police are looking for a suspect after an attempted carjacking on the west side.
Officers responded to the parking lot of an unnamed shopping mall just before 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.
“An elderly woman said as she was parking and exiting her vehicle, when a man with a weapon, leaned into her vehicle and attempted to take possession of it,” police said in a news release Friday.
Police said the woman refused and went to a nearby store where she alerted security and officers were called.
Investigators said the woman was shaken up after the incident but was not hurt.
The suspect is described as a white man in his late 20s, about 5’10” tall and weighing 150 pounds.
He was wearing a black ballcap, t-shirt, mask, and reflective sunglasses at the time.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Saint John Police Force at 506-648-3333.
