Police say shortly after 6:30 p.m., a 26-year-old woman was delivering food near Richmond and Augusta in Humboldt Park when a man pulled her out of her SUV and took off in it. The woman's little girl was still in the back seat.

Police are looking for that man.

The little girl was not hurt, but her mother had some bruises on her arm.
