The distraught Boyd who lives on the French side said she stopped at the Marina to drop off her boyfriend and to take back a DVD when the bandits jumped in her car through the passenger side of the vehicle and they began punching her in the head and face while screaming at her to get out of the car. She said she was trying to get out of the vehicle but she had on her seatbelt and the bandits did not give her time to remove it. The woman said she was driving a Toyota Corolla with license plate 663 ZBF 971 when the incident occurred.
The woman said one of her attackers dragged her out of the car with her seatbelt still on and he got into the drivers seat and drove off along the main road. She said she began screaming and begging the driver to stop and to let her go but it was not after a long time he finally stopped the car about 150 meters down the road and released her. "I held on to the vehicle to avoid getting under the wheels as he drives, this felt like a lifetime." The victim said when the bandit stopped the car he took off the seat belt and handed her handbag which was inside the vehicle at the time, then he drove off leaving her lying on the road.
Boyd said she suffered a severe concussion, whiplash, burns and cuts on her body as she was dragged on the asphalt road. She considered herself lucky because she was wearing a long jeans pant which helped to minimize the injuries. She said no one tried to rescue her from her attackers and felt people saw since the area was well lit. The woman said even though police and the ambulance department responded to the scene and assisted her she is doubtful that police would ever catch her attackers. Boyd said she is sure some of the people who were standing in the vicinity of Soggy Dollar Bar recognized her attackers but they would not assist police in catching these bandits who could have killed her.
The victim said she was informed that the car was recovered on the French side on Monday afternoon. Asked about the incident Police Spokesman Ricardo Henson said he did not get the police reports for Sunday as yet. Henson promised to look into the matter and to see if the French side arrested anyone when they recovered the car.
