Brick police are continuing their search for a man who they say pulled a woman out of her car, held a knife to her throat and stabbed her while demanding the contents of her pocket book.

There, police found a woman in her car parked in the building's parking lot.

"The victim had puncture wounds on her right side, several lacerations on her hand and a contusion on her head," said Drew.

The woman told police that a man, who appeared intoxicated, pulled her out of her vehicle and put a knife to her throat. He then her stabbed her in the side and cut her.

He also demanded the contents of her pocket book, which contained "an undetermined amount of cash, medication and jewelry," said Drew.
