Woman kidnapped and thrown from bridge in violent Glen Burnie carjacking
BALTIMORE, MD – A woman was kidnapped and thrown off a bridge into Curtis Creek after being carjacked in the early morning hours of April 15, 2023, in a harrowing case that began in Glen Burnie and ended in Baltimore, police said.
Northern District detectives are attempting to locate two suspects—a man and a woman—believed responsible for the brutal attack. According to investigators, the victim was initially approached around 2:30 a.m. while dropping off a friend in the 300 block of Milton Avenue in Glen Burnie.
Police said the female suspect forcefully dragged the victim out of her black 2012 Mercedes 550 sedan with help from a male accomplice. The victim was then thrown into the vehicle’s trunk as the suspects fled the scene in her car.
Roughly four miles away, the vehicle stopped on Pennington Avenue above Curtis Creek, near Crewboats To Go at 6211 Old Pennington Avenue. Detectives say the suspects pulled the woman from the trunk and threw her over the bridge and into the water below.
Despite the violent attack, the woman was able to swim to safety. She was aided by bystanders at the scene and later transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The suspects remain at large, and the black 2012 Mercedes 550 has not been located. The case is under active investigation by Northern District detectives.
