HIALEAH, Fla. – Police in Hialeah are searching for a man who stole from a woman and knocked her to the ground.
The incident happened Wednesday near Southeast Eighth Street and Southeast Eighth Court.
Police said the 50-year-old woman had just gotten off a bus and was walking through a parking lot when the man attacked her.
Surveillance video showed the man throw the woman against the front of a parked pickup truck, knocking her to the ground. He then snatched a gold chain from her neck and ran off.
Joel Ruig and several other witnesses ran after the man, who headed toward a residential area.
"When I saw him running, my first instinct was (to) run behind him," Ruig told Local 10 News.
Police used a helicopter and K-9 officers to search for the man, but they were unsuccessful.
The woman wasn't seriously injured.
