A 29-year-old woman was dragged along the road as she attempted to prevent a man from stealing her Honda Civic at an Express Fuel store in the Mayfair section of Northeast Philadelphia earlier this month, according to police.
The woman was inside the convenience store when she saw the suspect enter her car – which had the engine still running – from the driver's side, police said. She then rushed outside and grabbed onto the car. The suspect began driving away, dragging the woman 25 to 30 feet, police said.
