LEWISTON, Maine — A man was injured in downtown Lewiston on Monday afternoon when a motorist began to drive away as the man attempted to enter her car, causing him to drag along the ground, according to witnesses.
A woman walking her son home from school around 2:30 p.m. said the man was a passenger getting into a car outside the nearby Community Credit Union on Pine Street.
The driver stepped on the gas and sped off before the man got into the car. The man was briefly hooked to the car as the woman drove off, sending the man crashing down onto the pavement.
The witness said the man and the female driver were seen driving through the credit union’s ATM before the man went inside the bank.
The woman driver did not stop as people rushed over to the injured man.

I hope he is not injured. I wonder what the story behind the story is.
Yeah, sounds like there is a lot more to the story.
Maybe she had him withdraw money (cause they were at a bank) and then sped off with the cash and left him there? lol just a thought. I hope the mans ok I’m sure he got some road rash!!
Sounds like she panicked and he didn’t see it through.
The man is actually lying on the ground.
Even news editors don’t know how to use lying and laying any more.
Now this is great reporting. The driver sped off…. end of story. Police involved? Video from the ATM maybe to show who did it?
Get back to work people, nothing to see here but a man wearing a hoodie face down on the asphalt.
