Ok, I just want to get this out because I am still on edge.
I was sitting in my apartment, watching my DvD of QI when I suddenly heard a woman screaming. Not the playful type of scream, but a scream of abject terror. It sounded like it was coming from the parking lot outside of my apartment. I looked out, but saw nothing immediately. I could still hear her, though. After a few seconds, I see a man dragging a woman across the parking lot. When I say "dragging" I mean it in the very real, her legs were scraping along the ground, DRAG. This man then proceeds to try and stuff the woman into the passenger side of a dark colored car. She struggled with him and got away briefly. He caught her again, though, and then picked her up and carried her off. They went through the walkway of the building behind mine and the screaming stopped.
I started getting dressed in order to go down and investigate or at least get the license plate number of the car. I was not fast enough, though, as when I looked out my window again, I saw him back at the car, this time succeeding in stuffing her into the passenger side. He was able to get to the drivers side and start the car. At that point, I saw my neighbors across the street start chasing after him. I joined. By the time we got out to the entrance to the complex, a police car was there and was directed towards the car. The cops were able to pull them over and got the woman out. Both of them had bruises and marks on them, but I can say with fairly good certainty that anything he had was from her trying to defend herself.
It turns out that these two are dating and have gone through this sort of thing before. Only last time, she dropped the charges. The cops separated them and eventually let the man go. We all wrote out statements for the police. She swears she won't drop the charges this time, but only time will tell on that.
The thing that gets me is, I didn't call the police. Thankfully, my neighbors did, but I reacted too slowly. That bothers me.
Also, another thing that bothers me (and I probably shouldn't even be mentioning) is that this woman stayed with this asshole after this went on once before already and I can't even get a girl to answer my emails.
