SOUTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — A good Samaritan says she tried to help someone in need and ended up being run down instead.
Chelsea Jackson says she stopped to help two women who appeared to have car trouble, but it was all a setup.
"These folks ran me over," Jackson told Channel 2's Carl Willis. "When I was walking back to my mom's vehicle they said, 'Thank you,' and I looked back and then it's a man in a gray hoodie charging at me."
Jackson says she was right at the entrance of her own Fairburn neighborhood Saturday when she was suddenly being carjacked and robbed.
She says a man demanded money. When she told him she didn't have any, Jackson said he threw her in her mother's car.
Somehow, she says she managed to escape but the suspects ran over her with her mother's truck, peeling out on her hand and her hip, and they weren't done.
"The red car cranks up and runs dead into me, which, oh my God, it threw me back to the stop sign," Jackson said. "I feel thrown off. I can't sleep at night. I keep seeing them."
Jackson said the alleged thieves dialed a number on her stolen cellphone.
She says she used that to track them to Snapchat, where she says they've been posting carefree videos since the attack.
"I thought they were heartless. How can you run someone over and then be smiling and having so much fun the next day?" Jackson said.
Jackson says she's given police the suspects' videos, their phone number and the license plate from the car they've been driving.
"The only thing I don't have is their name and their address and that's coming soon," Jackson said.
