“He was armed, but I don’t have what he was armed with,” Donakowski said. “She was sexually assaulted and he took her 2002 Chevy Malibu.”

The man is described by police as a black male with a light complexion, around 5-foot-9 with an Afro and goatee. He was wearing a black coat, black hat and army fatigue pants, Donakowski said.
