Investigators believe the man and woman had a fight inside the vehicle, which led to the woman getting out of the car.
“It’s extremely disturbing to see somebody intentionally strike a woman with a vehicle,” Officer Seth Hoffman said.
Officers have searched the area, and checked local hospitals, but have been unable to find the Audi or the victim, who may need medical assistance.
Police said the suspect's car is a white 2018-2020 Audi Q3 or Q5, with a paper Maryland temporary tag. The vehicle sustained damage to the driver's side front quarter panel, headlight assembly and grill.
Police are asking anyone who has information or has seen the Audi to immediately contact investigators at 410-313-3700.
