Around 11:10 a.m., an on-duty MDPD sergeant saw a woman "engaging in a struggle" with a man who was attempting to force her inside of his car in the area of Northwest 35th Avenue and 101st Street in West Little River. The man then fled and while doing so, intentionally struck a marked police vehicle, MDPD told CBS News Miami.
