The assailant then shoved a gun into her stomach and told her to get into the car, according to a Sherwood Police Department report.

Authoritie­s noted that the man grabbed the woman by her hair from the back seat, pointed the gun to her neck and told her to “respect and comply with what he says” or he would shoot.

The woman was then forced to drive to a nearby neighborho­od, where the assailant forced her to perform a sexual act, the report states.

“If you don’t go on about your business I’m going to shoot this b*** h up,” the man reportedly told the victim at an intersecti­on before fleeing with $ 300 and a driver’s license he had taken from her, the report states.

The assailant was described as a black man in his 20s who stands about 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 140 pounds, according to the report. The victim said he was wearing a “baggy red hoodie” at the time, according to the report.

No suspects were named, and no arrests had been made at the time of the report.
