Bad Samaritan Robs Woman Changing Flat Tire

Man offers to help damsel in distress and then robs her

Not all helping hands should be welcomed. Just ask Nichole Miller.

The 29-year-old caught a flat tire on Interstate 75 and became a robbery victim after a man, who claimed he had arrived to help, stole her purse, NBC 2 in Naples reports.

Cody Ridgeway, 25, pulled his truck behind Miller's car and offered to change her tire for her. The man grabbed the jack out of Miller's car and then, without warning, snatched the woman's purse off her shoulder.

So much for chivalry.

The stunned victim gave chase and got punched in her face for her trouble.

Miller was able to give an accurate description of Ridgeway's truck and cops caught up to the man a few miles down the road.
