On Friday, February 3, a woman was out for a run when she was robbed in downtown Houston, Texas. In attempt to seek help, she ran down towards the Buffalo Bayou, a waterway that runs through the middle of the city, and fell in.
A bystander saw the runner fall in and called for help. Soon, first responders arrived to the scene and threw her a flotation device to pull her out of the water.
Officials told ABC 13 Houston that she wasn’t seriously inured and wasn’t far into the water. Unfortunately, there is no known description of the robber as of yet.
Over the last year, 97 robberies have occurred in downtown Houston, according to ABC 13 Houston’s neighborhood safety tracker data.
