Around 11 pm on May 26, the woman, her boyfriend and a friend were in her a white Mazda 323, driving along Marshall Road, Carlsen Field, Chaguanas.
She pulled over to urinate and moments after she got out the car, two men with guns, dressed in dark-coloured clothes, walked up to her and announced a robbery.
The bandits hit the woman in her head with their guns and made her boyfriend lie in the road before shooting him once in his foot.
The other woman was not hurt.
The gunmen stole a Samsung S22 Ultra cell phone from the man, the woman’s Samsung A34 cell phone and her car with her handbag still inside.
