The subject was then transported to Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn in serious condition. The officer was transported to an area hospital for observation.

"The tussle that they had, almost had me in tears because she’s a tiny little person. I’m glad that she was able to keep herself together and do what she needed to do to come out alive," said the unidentified neighbor.
