She is dragged a few dozen feet before slamming into the pavement as the suspect escapes.

“For me, to fight all the way to the end, I feel good about it.”
“I’m pissed off because this guy was looking for somebody, and I feel violated,” she continued. “I feel violated, but I feel good because I put (up) a fight.”
An investigation is ongoing.
