A woman is talking about the terrifying robbery that left her bloody and beaten early Monday morning.

She had just pulled into the garage of her Southfield home when she was attacked. The woman says she was sitting in her car and closing the garage door when someone snuck inside.

“As he pointed the gun to my car, he told me to roll down the window and open up the car,’ said the victim. “So I tried to lock it, he ended up opening it anyway.  When he opened it up, he started hitting me in the head with the gun a lot of times and blood was everywhere.”

Her attacker towered over her at more than 6 feet tall.

“He started hitting me again, trying to get my car keys to come in my house,” said he victim. “He said give me your keys.  I was fighting him back.”

She told 7 Action News the man called for back up and another man approached.

“Then he grabbed my purse and he dragged me out of my garage down to the street,” said the victim.

The men took her purse and watch. Then they escaped.

The victim tried to chase after them but she was too weak.

“I started fading out because I lost a lot of blood,” said the victim.

Right now police are Southfield Police are investigating the case.

The victim says she went from door-to-door, begging for help from neighbors - even her next door neighbor. No one answered.

“You couldn’t hear me screaming. You couldn’t hear me hitting on your car. You couldn’t hear me hitting on your door,” said the victim.  “You mean to tell me screaming for my life.  So what if I got killed?"

Finally a neighbor down the street helped her to her feet and they called police.

The victim is relieved the nightmare is over. She is expected to make a full recovery.
