A woman was knocked to the ground by her own car as she tried desperately to stop a thief from stealing it. Police are investigating after the woman's red Ford Fiesta was stolen in broad daylight on a busy Cardiff street earlier this year.
CCTV footage captured the moment the male thief got into the car, which was parked on Leckwith Road in Canton on July 12. He then started it and began to reverse, with the owner bravely trying to prevent him from driving off by flinging open the passenger door as he tried to escape.
However, the woman was knocked to the ground after being hit in the face by the door as the thief reversed quickly before driving off at speed along the road. Get the latest news from across Cardiff sent straight to your inbox for free by signing up to our newsletter.
