Police said the woman was returning to her apartment from the parking lot when a man followed her, then pulled out a gun and forced her into her apartment. The woman was able to get away and alert the off-duty courtesy officer, who lives nearby.

As the officer approached the woman's apartment, he and the robber met and got into a brief scuffle but the robber got away.

Authorities did not say how much the man made off with.

Police have a helicopter searching for the suspect, as well as police officers on the ground.
