Moment carjacking victim sprays gasoline at her attacker

A woman was captured on video attempting to fight back against a carjacker by dousing him with gasoline before she was dragged several feet as the man stole her car while she was pumping gas.
William Tighe, 32, is being hunted by police in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, in suspicion for stealing a woman's car while she was pumping gas at a convenience store on Saturday night.
Surveillance video posted to Tewksbury Police's Twitter account shows the woman spraying the suspect with gasoline and struggling with him before he sped away, dragging the woman several feet.
The woman immediately ran inside the gas station, asking a clerk for help and to phone the police to report the stolen vehicle, reported WCVB.
'She said that her car got stolen, someone took off with her car,' a gas station attendant told FOX25's Jim Morelli.
'When she wasn't paying attention, pumping her own gas, he just hopped right in and tried to take off with it. He tried to close the door and she fought back.'
The woman was taken to a hospital as a precaution. Police say her injuries appeared to be minor.
Police were quickly able to track down the red Mazda 2007 around 90 minutes later in Lowell, Massachusetts, but weren't able to apprehend the suspect.
Tighe fled from the vehicle on foot and escaped by making his way through a wooded embankment and area, before disappearing around the banks of the Merrimack River, according to police.
The suspect was still at large as of Sunday afternoon. Police have an arrest warrant charging the man with carjacking and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
This isn't Tighe's first run-in with the law. He was arrested in December of 2014 for a high speed police chase while he was driving a stolen vehicle at 75mph, reported the Lowell Sun.
He was apprehended after blowing out a tire then crashing into a police cruiser and hitting a guardrail.
