Police are re-appealing for witnesses a woman was carjacked in Manchester city centre.
The incident happened on Wednesday 23 September 2015 at around 8.50pm.
A 27-year-old woman was sat alone in her black Peugeot 108 car on Store Street car park, as she waited for her boyfriend to arrive at Piccadilly train station.
A man approached the car, opened the driver’s door and tried to take the woman’s keys.
The woman fought the man off and started screaming, but he put his hand over her mouth, pulled her out of the vehicle and then made off in the car towards Great Ancoats Street.
The car with a registration plate of MD64 YHR, was found on Regent Street in Newton Heath at around midnight on Monday 26 October 2015.
Police are appealing to anyone who saw the car being abandoned to contact police.
The man is described as white, with short hair. He was wearing a black hoody and black trousers and spoke with a Manchester accent.

“Thankfully, she was not injured but clearly this is a very serious case and we are carrying out significant enquiries to identify this individual.
