ing to jump out of the way. If he hadn't,
his injuries could have been much more
serious.”
Grabowski praised the officer who
was on the scene who had to make a
choice between helping the victim and
pursuing the escaping vehicle.
“I would stand by that officer's choice
all the way. He did the right thing by
offering some element of comfort to the
victim, so he knew that help was on the
way.”
Grabowski also said the incident
remains under investigation and the sus-
pect vehicle would have sustained dam-
age to the driver's side and may have a
missing or broken side view mirror.
