El Cerrito police are searching for three men who kidnapped, pistol-whipped and robbed a woman near a BART station Friday night, police said.

The three men forced the woman into their car near the El Cerrito del Norte station, pistol-whipped her and stole her property, then forced her out of the car on the 6600 block of Blake Street around 10:40 p.m., according to police.

One of the men fired a shot during the robbery and officers responding to the report of shots on Blake Street found the woman lying on the street, police said. The woman was taken to the hospital; no reports of her condition were available.

Police are asking people living on the 1700 block of Lexington Avenue to check their video cameras for footage of the vehicle — a green four-door sedan that might have been taken around the time of the robbery.
