A woman was assaulted and robbed at knife-point late Sunday in Galloway Township after stopping to help what she thought was an accident victim.
The woman, 65, of Galloway, told police that she was driving home about 9:45 p.m. from an Atlantic City casino on Old Port Republic Road when she realized she was being followed by two vehicles. One of the vehicles passed her and seemed to race up the road out of her line of sight. A few moments later, the woman saw the same vehicle sideways across the road in front of her vehicle, which forced her to stop. The woman told police she saw someone “slumped” over the wheel, so she rolled down her window to ask if they needed any help.
The woman suffered injuries to her arm from the knife and her ears when the suspect ripped the earrings from her body.
Both vehicles fled south on Old Port Republic Road toward Route 9. The woman could not give any further description of either suspect or vehicle.
Galloway Township police declined to name the victim. The investigation is ongoing.
