The woman woke to the sight of two men, wearing all black, removing her from the running vehicle, according to Zuccerella.

"The victim yelled at the subjects to stop," he said.

But they kept dragging her from the vehicle, threw her to the ground, and stole her car, police said

Greenwich Police Officers checked the area but were unable to locate the vehicle.

The victim sustained minor injuries when being removed from the vehicle but refused medical treatment.
