Woman Found Lying Naked On Street Steals Officer's Car, Runs Over Him

Chicago -- A Chicago police officer who stopped to help a naked woman lying on a street was run over after the same woman assaulted him and stole his squad car.

The woman later crashed near a hospital and was arrested.

Officers responded to a "woman laying in the street unclothed" in West Garfield Park Monday morning, CPD Superintendent David Brown said, as per NBC Chicago.

When an officer stopped to help the woman, she "charged at the officer, assaulted the officer, got in his squad car." She then ran over the cop, Brown added.

The woman drove off in the squad car for about three miles before crashing into around five vehicles near Stroger Hospital. She was arrested and taken to a hospital for a psychological evaluation.

The officer sustained injuries to his head and legs.

Chicago Fire Department spokesperson Larry Merritt said paramedics tended to the injured officer at around 9:40 a.m. before he was taken to Stroger Hospital.

Ruben Dunning, who witnessed the incident from his apartment window, said the officer was bleeding at the scene.

"A bunch of blood, trauma to the head, and it looked like he could barely walk. I'm hoping he'll be okay," CBS News quoted him as saying. "She took the car, drove off in it, and the officer got out of the car to try to help her, and she ran him over, and she was butt naked."

Meanwhile, a man named Nicolas Ramsay said his vehicle was one of the cars the woman crashed into. He told ABC 7 Chicago that he was on his way to work at the emergency room of Rush University Medical Center when his car was struck.

"All of a sudden, I got hit by a police car," Ramsay told the outlet. "The police car hit several cars and stopped right in front of me and I saw a woman jump and run."

The woman's family reportedly arrived at the scene where the officer was injured. Her mother said the 34-year-old daughter called her several times on the morning of the incident.

"She was saying, 'Mom, come get me, please, please, please, please," the mother, who did not want to be identified, said. "And she'd said she been raped and she said, 'I don't feel good, I feel like I'd been drugged,' and I said, 'Where are you?' She said, 'I don't know, I don't know.'"

An investigation into the incident is underway. Charges have not been filed yet.

"We don't know why the woman was laying the street unclothed. We don't know the circumstances yet," Brown said.
