Surveillance video shows violent robbery in which woman was dragged by truck

Police in Georgia are looking for a robbery suspect who dragged a woman behind a truck and then partially ran over her at an Atlanta-area hotel.

Gwinnett County police Cpl. Michele Pihera tells local media that the incident happened around 6 p.m. on Aug. 9 in the parking lot of the Atlanta Marriott Norcross Hotel in Peachtree Corners.

Police have released surveillance video footage of the incident.

The case remains under investigation. Police have not identified a suspect.
