Terrifying moment woman, 28, fights off attacker who slams her to the ground before stealing her car keys at gas station in Alabama

Terrifying video captured the moment a young woman fought off an attacker who tried to rob her at an Alabama gas station in broad daylight early on Sunday evening.

Police released surveillance video of the incident at the Chevron station in Mobile and identified Brandon Young, 28, as the alleged assailant.   

The footage shows Young wandering around the parking lot as a car pulled up to one of the pumps.  

A 28-year-old woman - who has not been named - got out of the vehicle as she began making her way towards the gas station store.

Young then slowly began approaching her and caught the woman by surprise after he grabbed her. 

The woman can be seen trying to break free from Young with her shoe falling off as she dangled above the ground.

She appears to slap him across the face before he throws her to the ground and snatches her keys off the pavement.

The woman ran after him as she saw him making his way towards the car with the keys in his hand.

One of the more confusing aspects of this crime was that the attacker stopped short before entering the vehicle.

Instead, he walks towards her in a threatening manner as she backs away in fear.

Young attempts to grab the woman one more time before she finally ran in the direction of the store.

Police arrested Young the day after the incident and charged him with felony third-degree robbery.

He is due to appear in court at some point this week. 

Young has been known to frequent the gas station, according to the owner, and has also had a series of attempted robberies in the past. 

Nazmul Hasan, the gas station owner, said that Young was seen hanging around the area multiple times on Saturday and was even alerted by police when they stopped in.

He told Fox10: 'They do what they want to do. People like us, you know innocent people get hurt every time. All we need is protection.'

Patrons of the gas station were also interviewed, saying that they will be more aware of their surroundings and try to protect their loved ones.

 'It made me scared for my daughter and my wife', said Larry Knight. 'They come here too.'

The video of the incident was posted on social media by the victim's stepmother which has reached 10,000 views.

 The victim's family is glad she is safe and are using the video to warn other women to be more careful.  

The Chevron gas station was previously robbed in June when two men held the cashier at gunpoint as they stole some money and left, according to Fox10
