Police arrested two teens after they carjacked a woman in the Highpoint neighborhood on Saturday afternoon.

A woman was driving through the Highpoint neighborhood in the 7100 block of 32 Ave Southwest at 12:50 pm Saturday when two teenage boys got into her running vehicle. The two teens then assaulted the woman before pushing her out of the car and driving away.

Officers flooded the area and spotted the car fleeing. The suspects ditched the car near Riverview Playfield. The two suspects ran across the field where a youth soccer game was taking place. Officers caught one of the suspects and the second was stopped by two parents and held until officers could take control of the situation. 

Officers booked the 14 and 15-year old boys into the Youth services center for investigation of robbery.
