Houston – Houston police are asking for help identifying a woman who attacked a rideshare driver last month and ran off with his car keys.

According to investigators, the driver was giving a woman a ride when she suddenly opened the back door of the moving vehicle. Concerned for her safety, the driver asked her not to do that. She reportedly brushed it off, telling him to relax because no cars were coming.
That’s when the driver decided to pull over and cancel the ride. He asked the passenger to get out, but police say she refused—and instead, punched him in the face. The woman then grabbed his car keys and ran off, leaving the driver stranded.
The suspect is still on the run. Detectives with HPD’s Robbery Division say she’s believed to be a Hispanic woman who was last seen wearing a light-colored sports bra and black pants.
