DETROIT (FOX 2) - A suspect hit a man with an SUV at a Detroit CVS because he was standing up for a woman who was being harassed early July 12.

After that, the suspect then followed Waller to a CVS on 8 Mile near the Southfield Freeway. When Waller got out of his car around 1:20 a.m. the suspect acted like he was leaving then pulled behind him, hit and ran over Waller, then fled.
