A Taunton man is under arrest after carjacking a woman, her 11-month-old baby and the child's grandmother at the Westgate Mall in Brockton.

The victim told WPRI 12 that on Tuesday afternoon as she was leaving the mall a man approached her and followed her to her car.

She says her baby was already in the vehicle when the carjacker told her,

you’re going to want to get your baby out of the car.”

He then asked for their purses and said he needed to get out of town.

The victim actually described the carjacker, Jose Robles of Taunton, as polite...until she realized he had a gun.

Robles took the vehicle and later led the Massachusetts State Police on a three-mile chase that ended when he crashed the car in Stoughton.

Robles then tried to flee on foot, but was quickly captured and now now faces charges of armed carjacking, armed robbery, and negligent operation of a motor vehicle.

The gun turned out to be a pellet gun.
