Man runs woman over with truck, tries to kidnap her
Monday, Feb. 20, 2012
TACOMA, Wash. —
Police are looking for a man they said ran over a woman
with his pickup and then tried to kidnap her.
The victim's boyfriend showed pictures to KIRO 7'
Eyewitness News reporter Sunny Layne and told her about the victim’s
serious injuries.
Hong Hoang was walking home from work at a Tacoma McDonald’s early
Friday when she noticed a man following her. She tried to get away in
a parking lot, but the man ran her down with his pickup.
Police said the man tried to put her inside his truck, and despite
many broken bones, Hoang managed to punch him. The commotion caught
the attention of another man in the parking lot, and the attacker
drove away, leaving Hoang critically injured, but alive.
“To be able to punch the guy in the face right after he ran over you
with a truck, that’s a pretty strong woman, as far as I'm concerned.
I've never met a stronger woman in my life,” said Hoang’s boyfriend,
Kris Moore.
Moore says Hoang is recovering at Tacoma General Hospital with a
broken pelvis, ribs, leg, bruised lung and other injuries.
"I had to leave because I couldn't stop crying because it was so
terrible to hear her scream that much," said Moore. "She's not going
to be able to work for a very long time. She's going to be able to
have to re-learn to walk."
It will be a long road to recovery, but Moore says he will be there
every step of the way.
Hoang is still in the intensive care unit, but is
conscious and talking.
Police said they are looking for a man in his late 20s, who is 6 feet
tall with dark skin and short, curly dark hair. They said he drove a
dark blue Chevrolet pickup that may have a broken back window. The
license plate possibly ended with the numbers 10 and the letter N.
Anyone with information about the attack is asked to call police.
