HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU HAVE TO BE TOLD...
LOOK WHERE YOU'RE GOING!!
Karla Gierstors was the intended victim of an early morning mugging on Thursday, when she was confronted by a man who demanded her purse. The robber pulled out a box cutter and grabbed her purse, ripping it from her grasp. Unsurprisingly, the victim let out a scream.
As in all the best stories, a knight in shining armor (well, in an automobile) just happened to be passing. He squealed to a halt and heroically went to the rescue of our damsel in distress. He did manage to save the day, but more by luck than judgment.
As the villain fled, he was looking back at his victim and, not noticing the automobile, he ran headlong into it. The collision caused him to drop the purse and the box cutter but, quite sensibly, he decided to cut his losses and continued running.
Police are looking for a man with multiple bruises and, when the catch him, they may well charge him over the damage he did the the rescuers car.
