He ordered the woman into her vehicle and sat in the driver’s seat, police said.

Police said he threatened and assaulted her when he drove around Dallas for about an hour. He stops at an ATM and orders the woman to withdraw money. He took about $ 400 from her, a police spokesman said.

The robber then drove to a West Dallas convenience store in the 5500 block of Bernal Drive, where the woman jumped out of the car and ran inside for help. According to police calls, several officers were sent to the scene around 11:15 p.m.
