Calif. woman dragged by car as she tries to stop Gucci shades robbery

Shocking video captured a 69-year-old California woman being dragged by a robber’s car as she tried desperately to prevent him from making off with her Gucci shades – later saying she’d do it all over again.

The woman was enjoying a snack as she sat in her parked red Ford Mustang on Broadway in Alameda about 3 p.m. Sunday when a white car stopped behind her and the driver walked up to her, KTVU reported.

He reached inside her vehicle, grabbed her purse – containing her pricey Gucci prescription sunglasses – and ran back to his car, according to the outlet.

But the feisty woman decided she was not going to give up without a fight – so she jumped out of her Mustang and tried to prevent the thief from driving away.

The footage showed her being dragged several feet before she finally falls to the road.

“That was what pushed me to go after him, because I want(ed) my glasses,” the gutsy woman, who asked not to be named, told KTVU. “I cannot see without glasses.”

She added: “I’m pissed off because this guy was looking for somebody, and I feel violated. I feel violated, but I feel good because I put (up) a fight.”

The victim said she suffered a head injury and was left bloodied in the terrifying incident but had no regrets.

“For me, to fight all the way to the end, I feel good about it,” she said.

Bach Ha, the bystander who shot the video, told the station: “When he drove off, I think it caused her to basically just crash into the ground, and when she got up, she was like dazed.”

Police Chief Nishant Joshi urged people not to resist their attackers.

“Personal items can be replaced, but personal safety, that’s something that we never want to compromise,” Joshi said.

“My heart goes out to her. I think the natural instinct or inclination is to go try to get your property back. But there’s a lot of risks that come with that. And in this case, she was injured,” the top cop added.

Resident Flavia Krasilchik also expressed concern about the woman’s actions.

“I’m very concerned and unfortunately, people react without knowing they’re reacting,” she told KTVU.

No arrests have been made and the case remains under investigation.
