WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Police in Wichita say a 52-year-old woman was injured when she tried to stop a man from stealing a car out of her driveway.
KFDI-FM reports the incident began at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday when the woman left the car warming up in the driveway. She ran back outside when saw a man get in, and stood behind the car thinking the thief wouldn’t run her down.
But the thief backed down the driveway with the woman hanging onto the bumper. Police say she suffered bumps and bruises from being dragged.
Officers chased the car after seeing it in another part of the city several hours later. A passenger was taken into custody immediately, and the driver surrendered after trying to swim across a small pond.
