Suspected robber body slams woman after following for 24 miles, leaving her paralysed

CCTV footage shows the moment a mother-of-three was left paralysed after being body-slammed by a robbery suspect who allegedly followed her for nearly 24 miles.

Nhung Truong, 44, was attacked in Houston, Texas, on 13 February when she was on her way to buy flight tickets to Vietnam.

She was reportedly followed after withdrawing money from the bank.

Footage shows the suspect running away with what he thought was an envelope of cash after his first attack, before returning seconds later.

He then picks up Ms Truong and body-slams her to the ground, this time making off with the money.
