Police are investigating after a woman was seen being dragged alongside a car by her hair last weekend.

The woman was attacked by a man in a Toyota Aygo as it pulled out of a petrol station in Preston in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Horrific footage of the attack was filmed by a passerby.

It shows the woman struggling to get away from the man in the driver's seat of the car as it leaves the petrol station forecourt.

The woman screams 'get off me, please, get off me!' as the driver revs the engine and drives along the road, with the woman hanging by the side of the vehicle.

The victim finally manages to escape his grasp and runs to the petrol station for help. She appears to have avoided serious injury.

Lancashire Police say they are aware of the incident an are investigating.

Local resident Jerome Roberts, 33, witnessed the incident, but was not the man who filmed it.

He said: 'It was absolutely shocking. The man was pulling her in and screaming: "Get in, get in - people will come out if their houses".

'His back windscreen was smashed. She was screaming and ran in to the petrol station.

'He then drove back two minutes later but he then left. An ambulance came for her but her shoe was still in the street the next day.'

Another witness, Jenny Williams, 22, said: 'The woman was in a terrible state. She looked terrified and ran away without her dressing gown.

'I couldn't believe what was happening - he was acting like an animal.'

A Lancashire Police spokesman said: 'We were called by a member of the public at around 4:15am on Saturday to the report of a woman being assaulted by a man in a car at a garage on New Hall Lane in Preston.

'The woman had been seen to be repeatedly dragged by a car close to the Texaco Garage.

'An investigation has been launched and enquiries are on-going. At this stage, no one has been arrested.'

They asked people not to share the unedited footage on social media.

She was kind of asking for it with her hair down like that. I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again: Ladies should keep their hair tied up, back, bunned, or at the very least, ponytailed when leaving the safety of indoors.
Otherwise, this precise thing WILL DEFINITELY happen to you too.

There’s nothing to gain, and everything to lose.

I could understand (and even agree with) that logic if the cameraman wasn't tripping over her to get the shot. He's already there. He's IN it. Extend a hand.

When you wrote the first one I thought,
This is true, even just take her hand.
But now you've taken my "hand" idea, it is now upon me to idea up a new one, so my new help idea submission is: He could have even just stamped his foot down on her shoelaces like a $50 bill in the wind--kept filming even.

While that paints a cute picture, I can't help but question the reaction in this particular case, when a bystander is within reach, filming away, pleading with the driver to stop.

The suspect is already struggling while driving with one hand and grabbing ahold of her hair with the other. The cameraman is up both their asses, which is already risky on his part. Meh.

I'm sure she'll be fine...
