Witnesses Describe Alleged Attacks, Retaliation

Police say a man in his 20s went on a rampage along Plymouth Road on Detroit's west side, attacking several women with a pipe.

There was no obvious motive for the attacks as the man apparently did not attempt to sexually assault or rob his victims, Local 4 reported.

Police say at least five girls or women were attacked before some local residents decided to take action in what they referred to as Detroit-style street justice, Local 4 reported.

A woman, who chose to remain anonymous, says she tried to run the man down with her car after she apparently witnessed him attacking a girl.

"So, I started towards the man, and he started running, and I was trying to run him over. Then, two men in a car came by, and they shot him," the woman said.

Dennis Powell, who witnessed the retaliation, said it was incredible.

Powell told Local 4 that a gray-color Grand Prix pulled up, and the persons inside the car fired five shots at the alleged attacker. Powell said the man then ran into an alley, where he was chased down and run over by the Grand Prix. The people inside the car then shot the man and left him behind, lying on the ground, Powell said.

The alleged attacker was later pronounced dead, according to the station's reports.

"I commend them. I mean, I don't justify anybody killing anyone, but they were saving someone else's life," said the anonymous woman.

The women attacked were reportedly taken to area hospitals to be treated. They were all expected to recover, Local 4 reported.

There was no word on if the persons inside the Grand Prix will face charges for their alleged actions.
