And it happened right in front of reader Andy’s place:
It was on 20th near Dolores, across from the Park. A woman was
walking on the sidewalk when somebody got out of a car and grabbed her

We’re in communication with some of the folks involved and will have more on this soon, so be sure to check back for updates. In the meantime, be careful out there!

i heard this happening right outside. we talked to the girl, apparently the guys tried to drag her into the car, then the cops caught them. subsequently, the muggers tried to fight the cops. 5 patrol cars showed up on the scene. i believe they were able to make the arrest.
The cops caught them!
