Police Seek Hit-and-Run Driver Who Dragged Victim for Blocks in Arlington Heights

Police are looking for a hit-and-run driver who dragged a man under a car for about a quarter-mile late Sunday in Central Los Angeles.

The man was standing outside of his car near 4th Avenue and West Washington Boulevard in Arlington Heights when a car struck him and dragged him for blocks. The man trapped under the car's wheel well fell off when the car made a U-turn, NBC4 reports. The man then crawled to a nearby house for help.

Officer Mike Tirella of the Los Angeles Police Department's West Traffic Division told NBC4 that two women were inside the car while the man was standing outside the car with the door open looking for something in the front seat when he was hit.
