WATCH: Pregnant woman runs down suspected purse snatcher with SUV

ASHEVILLE, NC — Wow. Don’t mess with a pregnant lady or her purse.

A woman in North Carolina is being charged with assault with a deadly weapon after chasing a man down with her SUV who she says stole her purse!

Witnesses say they saw the man, identified as Robert Raines, rummaging through Christine Braswell’s car in a Walmart parking lot.

"When I walked out of Walmart, he had her purse and was pulling all of her stuff out,"  Blake Bennett tells WCMH-TV. "Then me and my friend told him to put it down and 'What are you doing?'"

Braswell showed up and the man took off running with her purse. But she wasn’t about to let him get away.

“Me being five months pregnant, I chased a little ways then come back, jumped in the car, threw it in gear and come across the curb and ran him over,” said Braswell.

Raines suffered minor injuries and is now charged with felony breaking and entering.
