RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) -

A man tried to abduct a woman at gunpoint after she left the Wawa on Brook Road.

This happened at 1:00 a.m. Friday and police are calling this an attempted abduction. The woman was walking down Chamberlayne Avenue when the man forced her to walk down Westbrook Avenue.

According to police, as they were walking, a car drove up next to them and that scared the gunman away. He is still on the run this morning. The woman was not injured.

The suspect is described as a black male, 5'7", in his 20s, dressed in all black. He was wearing a black hat with a white under rim.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 780-1000.
