A PENSIONER was left badly shaken after being targeted by a cowardly car-jacker in the Kingshurst area.
The 67-year-old was flagged down by the crook in Kingshurst Way on Monday morning (April 13). When she got out of her car, the young man snatched her keys and shoved her to the ground. He then jumped in her Ford Fiesta and sped off.
The victim injured her leg in the fall and was taken to hospital by emergency services, who arrived on the scene within minutes.
Sgt Peter Wall, from Solihull Police, said: "This was a terrifying ordeal for the lady who could easily have been more seriously hurt.
"Thankfully she will make a full recovery, but we need to trace the man responsible to prevent this happening again."
Police are appealing for witnesses to the robbery, which took place at around 10am. The suspect is described as a mixed race man, around 5ft 9in, with facial stubble. He was wearing a grey hooded top during the carjacking.
The Fiesta - yet to be recovered by officers - is silver (registration number BF60 VBT).
Anyone you saw what happened or who has any information should call Solihull Police on 101 or Crimestoppers, in confidence, on 0800 113 5000.
