A woman was robbed near the Ferry Terminal downtown even though she was prepared and had a can of pepper spray. The problem was, the robber had a gun.

The woman was walking to her car around 1:30 a.m. June 18 when a slow moving car pulled up behind her, according to the police report. Sensing danger, she grabbed the pepper spray she had in her purse and started walking a little faster.

A guy got out of the passenger seat then and approached her. She pointed the pepper spray at him and started yelling, but he was not fazed. He pulled a black handgun out of his waistband and held it up.

The woman tried to run, but he grabbed her collar and shook her violently around. The suspect then got back in the car and fled.

It is not clear from the report what was stolen. No suspects were located.
