A man was left bloody and wounded after he attempted to rob a woman with a knife.
The Kentucky woman was being stalked by John Ganobick, when he followed her into an elevator at a parking garage.
Police said Ganobick was captured on surveillance cameras following her.
But there is no surveillance camera rolling when he eventually attacks her in the parking lot.
Louisville Metro Police said the woman noticed Ganobick following her in the food court around 6.15pm and he followed her to the parking garage.
She told police when the elevator reached her floor, she started running to her car, but he chased her.
The woman got in her car and he pushed in behind her and put his hand over her mouth, according to ABC 7.

Once she is convinced a threat is palpable, she should not hesitate to pull her weapon and confront him. If he's a rapist or stalker, it's not likely he's going to get police involved. He'll rush home and change his underwear.
Don’t show fear. Show courage. The courage to confront the stalker and let him know in no uncertain terms that the price of attacking you is his life. If he wants to put his ego up against your Glock, you can see who wins.
It’s too common for a woman to be alone with strangers for her to make a confrontation each time. Think about a shopping trip from a woman’s point of view. Getting to the car, carrying things, being smaller than half the population, children, etc.
Plus, a man will leave you alone until you look nervous - then he gets interested. His interest is always innocent, even helpful, until it’s not.
Had he known she had a gun and was prepared to use it, he may have opted to get off on another floor. Or to vacate the building entirely.
I know what you’re saying. I’m just don’t think I could pull it off.
It is really frightening to confront a man when you’re not one.
Thx. Didn’t see that.
Thanks angryoldfatman, and all. I did not see in the article that the incident happened on Jan 26. Makes sense.
