A 38-year-old woman was attacked and had her car stolen, this Wednesday morning (11), on Rua Yvan Barreto de Carvalho, in the Stiep neighborhood, in Salvador.

The crime was filmed by a security camera installed at the location. The images show that the victim was almost dragged by the criminal as he struggled to recover the vehicle.

It all happened around 7:30 am. The video shows that the woman had difficulty parking the car and that, when she was about to make a new attempt, the suspect approached. He then opened the door and threw the victim to the floor.

A young man, wearing a state education uniform, was passing by the place and got scared. In the images, you can see the moment he ran when he noticed the approach.

Soon after, a motorcyclist passed by and almost hit the driver's head, who was still on the ground. He tried to help, but was intimidated and ran away.

Afterwards, the victim managed to get up and cling to the vehicle door, but ended up being knocked down again by the suspect, who drove away with the vehicle. It is not known if the victim was injured.

In a statement, the Civil Police reported that the crime was registered at the Vehicle Theft and Theft Suppression Police Station (DRFRV), which investigates who committed the crime and attempts to recover the car.
