Detroit police have arrested a suspect in the carjacking of a woman downtown this week.

A man riding a gold bicycle approached a 26-year-old driver in the 700 block of Beaubien at about 10:55 p.m. Wednesday, pulled out a handgun then “demanded her vehicle keys and personal items,” investigators said in a statement.

Surveillance footage authorities released Thursday showed the man moving the woman away from her light-colored Dodge Stratus, shutting its open trunk then driving off.

A tip led authorities to the suspect to Greiner and Hamburg on the city’s east side, where he was arrested without incident about 11 a.m. Friday, said Officer Nicole Kirkwood, a spokeswoman for the Detroit Police Department.

A 24-year-old remained in custody Friday night. A warrant package was to expected to be submitted to the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office. An arraignment has not yet been scheduled.
