The husband of the rideshare driver said it started when the suspect struggled with security guards near Clark and Lake streets.
The man said his wife, who watched it all unfold, was able to get out of her vehicle safely before the suspect took off with her car.
In another overnight incident in Little Village, police are looking for three suspects who carjacked an Uber Eats driver at gunpoint.
It happened as the driver was delivering food near 21st Street and Millard Avenue.
