HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Authorities are searching for a woman who caught herself on camera after allegedly attacking and robbing another woman at the beginning of the year in north Houston.

On Monday, the Houston Police Department released a video recorded by the victim on Jan. 1 showing the robbery suspect's face at the end.

The victim told police she was driving near Fulton Street at about 2:45 am on New Year's Day when the suspect driving a white Chevrolet sedan in front of her stopped her car abruptly. She said the suspect then got out of the car and started punching the victim through her open window.

The video was then uploaded to the victim's iCloud, and she sent it to the police.
