Lincoln Police say a 19 year old woman was attacked by a man as she pumped gas at the U-Stop near 27th Street and I-80 around 1:00 Tuesday morning.
Officer Erin Spilker says the woman told officers that she was filling her 2009 grey Volkswagen Passat with Nebraska plate 43-L308 when a man approached her. The man pointed a handgun at her and demanded her car. The man struck the victim in the face with the gun after she screamed and tried to get away from him.
The man then got into her vehicle and drove away. Officers canvassed the area and processed the scene for evidence and have requested video from the business to be analyzed. The victim was treated at a local area hospital for minor injuries due to the assault.
The victim’s vehicle which is still missing is valued at $3,000. This is an ongoing investigation and anyone with information is encouraged to call Lincoln Police at 402-441-6000 or Crime Stoppers at 402-475-3600.
