A woman says she was assaulted and robbed while driving overnight on I-495 in Prince George's County, Maryland.
Police believe the woman was followed and targeted by a group of armed individuals driving in a dark vehicle.
The suspects allegedly rammed the victim's vehicle, nearly forcing her off of the interstate before she finally stopped.

The Royal Grenada Police Force said three escaped prisoners hijacked the boat and likely "disposed of the occupants" on the way to St. Vincent.
The suspects allegedly exited their vehicle and pulled out a gun, robbing the woman along the roadway.
The group later took off, leaving the victim unharmed.
