ENGLEWOOD, NJ — A woman was forced from her car from a group of three men who are still at large, and the vehicle was stolen, in an incident that occurred just after midnight Saturday in Englewood, police Lt. Fred Pulice.

The woman was sitting in her car parked on Engle Street when she was approached by two men who tried to gain entry. When she refused to open the doors, the men began banging on the windows demanding she get out of the vehicle, Pulice said.

She then tried to drive away, at which point a third man driving a Mercedes-Benz GLC that had been reported stolen out of Hanover pulled in front of her path and blocked her exit, police said.
