PASADENA, Md. — Two suspects were arrested after police say they rammed a vehicle, assaulted a woman and robbed her during an early morning incident in Pasadena.
Anne Arundel County Police said officers responded around 3:30 a.m. on March 5 to the area of Ritchie Highway and Jumpers Hole Road for a reported assault.
Investigators said two adult female victims reported being followed by suspects in a white Toyota sedan.
Police said the suspects attempted to run the victims off the road while pointing a firearm at them before ramming their vehicle at the intersection.
The driver fled the vehicle on foot, while the passenger was allegedly pulled from the car, assaulted multiple times and robbed of her purse before the suspects fled south on Ritchie Highway.

Both suspects attempted to run from the scene but one was quickly apprehended. Officers established a perimeter and located the second suspect with assistance from a drone operator and a K9 unit.
