Woman fights back during attack outside Family Dollar

REDFORD, Mich. – A Redford woman was mugged while leaving work at a Family Dollar store Wednesday night, but she was able to fight back—possibly preventing an even worse crime.

Surveillance cameras caught the incident.

As the woman was walking through a parking lot, the assailant slams her head into the side of a car.

The attacker then attempts to drag her into the car, and that's when she fought back.

After a few seconds of struggle, she was able to break free and the attacker fled with her purse.
