Cops are hunting for a group of four men who heartlessly carjacked a vehicle from two women Wednesday at a Lowe's parking lot in Brooklyn.
A 72-year-old woman, who was sitting on her walker, and a 48-year-old woman were loading their new merchandise into their 2004 Toyota Corolla at the store's parking lot on Avenue U and E. 56th St. in Mill Basin around 4:23 p.m., when one of the men hopped into the Corolla's driver's seat and began to drive off.
In the process of stealing the vehicle, he struck both women, knocking the younger one to the pavement, cops said.
Three of the men from the group took off in the Corolla while the fourth individual fled in a black Nissan.
The value of the stolen goods was about $900.
The victims sustained minor injuries and refused medical attention at the scene.
The four suspects range in age from 18 to 20, cops said.
No arrests have been made.
Cops released surveillance photos of the suspects, hoping someone would recognize them.
Anyone with information is asked to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
All tips are strictly confidential.
