A woman was
hospitalized following a violent carjacking in Coney Island, police say.
Police say a
40-year-old woman had her vehicle carjacked while her husband was strapping
their two toddlers in the backseat.
A
24-year-old suspect, identified
as Kahil Ivey, allegedly
jumped in the driver seat, reversed the car and hit the mother.
The suspect
then fled on foot and attempted to carjack another woman as police were
responding to the first incident.
The victims
were able to flag the suspect down and police caught up to him.
Sources tell
News 12 that the suspect had been arrested for a carjacking previously.
Police say
Ivey is being charged with robbery, unauthorized use of a vehicle and criminal
possession of stolen property.
