A woman is in critical condition and a man injured after they were carjacked when the man pulled his truck over on a South Memphis street because his wife was having a medical episode.
A man on the street pretended to help them, then jumped in their truck and drove off, knocking the elderly couple into the street and causing serious injuries.
“He tried to help me, he tried to pat me down to see if I had any money,” said victim TC Dotson, “Yeah, I had money in my pocket, he ain’t getting none.”
Surveillance video from a nearby church shows a woman unresponsive on the sidewalk off South Parkway East this past Tuesday. A truck is parked in the street, doors wide open.
You see a man in a red hoodie walk up. The video skips to where the woman’s husband was trying to secure the woman in the passenger seat.
While the couple was distracted, the suspect walkd to the other side of the truck and drives away, toward Barton Road. The couple smacked onto the ground, leaving the woman in critical condition.
Police are circulating these pictures hoping to identify the man who drove off.
