Woman carjacks Uber driver in Queens, then crashes stolen SUV into tree: police

A woman carjacked a Queens Uber driver , then crashed the stolen SUV into a tree a short distance from the wild robbery, cops said Friday.

Cops have released images of the woman in the hopes someone recognizes her.

The 52-year-old Uber driver was picking up a fare on 86th Ave. near 241st St. in Bellerose when the unidentified woman tried to get into his Toyota RAV4 SUV.

As the Uber driver drove off, the woman chased after the SUV, managed to open up the back door, jumped inside and started beating on the older man, cops were told.

The woman bit the man as she pushed him out of the vehicle, then jumped behind the wheel as the SUV continued to roll down 86th St.

But her escape was short-lived. A few moments later, the out-of-control SUV sideswiped a row of parked cars before slamming into a tree, cops said.

The woman got out of the SUV unscathed and was last seen running away from the scene, witnesses told police.

EMS took the Uber driver to Long Island Jewish Medical Center to be treated for minor injuries.

The man gave police surveillance footage from inside his Toyota that captured the woman jumping into the SUV and getting behind the wheel.

Cops released the surveillance footage in the hopes someone recognizes the woman, who is described as Black, about 5 feet tall and 180 pounds.
