A violent thug ran over a mum and dragged her under the wheels of her own car for more than 30ft.
CCTV footage
showed Nikki Law-Priddey desperately battling to prevent her white Mini
being taken from her after it was taken from her driveway on January
29.
The 30-year-old grappled with the man but he managed to shake
her off and she was left lying in the middle of the Bartley Green road
in the path of oncoming traffic.
West Midlands Police confirmed
this week that nobody has been charged in connection with the attack and
the force is still asking for people with information to come forward.

Traumatised: Nikki was left traumatised and unable to sleep after the incident
A spokeswoman for the force added that a 25-year-old man who
was arrested yesterday on suspicion of robbery remains on police bail.
She
added: “No further arrests have been made at this stage and detectives
continue to urge anyone with information about the person responsible to
contact them on 101.”
The Mini was recovered a short time after the attack and was forensically examined by police.
The ordeal left Nikki deeply traumatised and unable to sleep.
She
also suffered severe bruising and broke her index finger on her right
hand, making it impossible for her to do her job for weeks.

Wrestle: Nikki fought with the thief as she was dragged 30ft along the road
In an previous interview with the Birmingham Mail, Nikki, said: “The car wasn’t insured because I was selling it that day and that’s what I was panicking about.
“I think if it was insured I’d probably have been like ‘just take the car.
“But I’m quite a feisty person, it was just my natural instinct to jump in on top of him.
“I kept saying to him you’re going to kill me, you’re going to kill me’ and he’s like ‘just let go of the car’.”
