He demanded her car keys and forced her to get inside the car, according to the San Bernardino Police Department.
The suspect later dropped the woman off at an IHOP on Arlington Street in Rancho Cucamonga.

The woman was uninjured, police said.
In a statement to NBC4, St. Bernardine Medical Center's President Darryl VandenBosch said that the hospital has increased its security personnel since the incident and reminded employees of additional safety measures.
