A woman aged in her 40s was held at knifepoint by two men as she returned to her car on Wednesday on Ballymahon Street.
She was forced into her car by the men and driven from the scene - as the car was followed by gardaí.
A short time later on the Athlone Road, the car left the road and hit a ditch.
The woman was taken from the scene by ambulance to Mullingar Hospital, where she received treatment for non life threatening injuries.
One of the men was also taken from the scene by ambulance to Tullamore Hospital.
