Pulling open her door, the man seized her the neck and hair, and threw her out of the car onto the ground. She screamed, her purse and the keys.
Two reporters of the local newspaper, Robert Bruce and Jeff Jackson, just outside their office building on a , heard the screams and began running .
When they Neilson’s car, the attacker had jumped into the driver’s seat and was searching for the keys. Bruce opened the door, and he and Jackson dragged the man out. The attacker back. But even in his cornered panic, he was no for the two athletic men.
Reggie Miller, a worker of the local newspaper, heard the screams, too. He rushed back to the office to the police, and then ran back with some plastic ropes —— used to tie up newspapers.
With his arms tightly behind him, the prisoner looked up and said , “I hope you guys feel good about yourselves—— you just caught one of the most wanted men.” They him and waited for the police.
