MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — Security video shows a wild confrontation between a woman who tried to fight off a man accused of stealing her car.

18 people shot, 3 dead in Stockton, Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office confirms

It happened at about 9:15 p.m. Friday outside the Hungry Howie’s Pizza on Airport Boulevard.

Security video shows a man run into the driver’s seat of a car. At the same time, a woman comes around the back of the car, trying to fight him off.

The video shows the car being driven away as the woman tries to take control of the wheel, and both struggle for a position in the front seat.

From there, Mobile Police say the stolen car hit another vehicle, and the driver stopped and ran off.

Police arrested 32-year-old Bradley Rashad Allen of Theodore. Jail records say he was charged with first-degree robbery and third-degree assault.

Amazon buys Indian video streaming service MX Player
Amazon has agreed to acquire Indian video streaming service MX Player from the local media powerhouse Times Internet, the latest step by the e-commerce giant to make its services and brand popular in smaller cities and towns in the key overseas market. The two firms reached a definitive agreement for the deal on Wednesday evening, a source familiar with the matter told TechCrunch. The deal values MX Player at less than $100 million, far short of the $500 million valuation at which the streamer raised its last capital, the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the companies are yet to publicly comment on the deal, told TechCrunch.
