The driver then put his vehicle in reverse and struck Bowker. After striking Bowker the first time, the driver of the Mercedes then put his vehicle into drive and struck Bowker again head-on, as Bowker was trying to get up and get out of the roadway.
This time Bowker was thrown onto the hood and windshield of the Mercedes and dragged for more than a block and a half. All the while Bowker and the female passenger in the Mercedes were yelling at the driver, "Stop! Your going to kill him!" Bowker said that while he was hanging onto the car the driver was smiling, seeming to enjoy horror he was inflicting on Bowker.
Bowker was lucky and escaped the assault with relatively minor injuries in the form of cuts and bruises on his feet and legs.

Eye for an Eye. Run the MF'r over when they catchhim !
I saw the whole thing! I was working at Vic's. But I have no info on the suspect.
Anon #2, was it as bad as it as reported? Sounds horrible.
I was the one that was hit by the car. There were no wittnesses at the time of the accident. The accident occured on Ocean Park Ave, a few blocks north of Vics.
Tom,
Hope you are well. I assume then that this felon is still on the loose. Have the police been investigating this as Attempted Murder as they should have? I would like to do a follow-up on this.
Our best at WBJ.
Hi Andrew,
Sorry for the late response. The Bradley Police have not caught the suspect, nor have kept in touch with me on any possible leads they may have. I feel like they could have done more besides brushing it under the carpet.
