Police in Houston have arrested two teenagers over a shocking 'jugging' incident that left a woman paralyzed

Joseph Harrell, 17, and Zy'Nika Ayesha Woods, 19, were charged after the victim, Nhung Truong, 44, was attacked after taking $4,300 from an ATM

Truong is now paralyzed, uses a wheelchair, and needs round-the-clock support from her family

Joseph Harrell, 17, and Zy'Nika Ayesha Woods, 19, were charged after Nhung Truong, 44, was attacked after taking $4,300 from an ATM.

Shocking video of the incident shows Truong violently grabbed and body slammed onto the ground by an attacker who followed her for more than 23 miles after she withdrew cash from an ATM on February 13.

Houston police described the incident as a 'jugging' attack, where thieves target victims who've recently used an ATM.

The police department said Truong had withdrawn money from the Bank of America on Blackhawk Boulevard in Houston and was followed by the suspects for nearly 24 miles to a shopping center on Bellaire around 11:30 a.m.

In the video, the thief could be seen snatching an envelope that police believe he thought was Truong's cash from her scattered belongings. He began to flee but then turns around and body slammed Truong to the ground and fled with the money.

Police Chief Troy Finner said: 'I just spoke to Ms. Truong... and assured her, and I want the city of Houston to stand behind us. These are very serious injuries. The recovery is very long. And I want her to know the love of our agency but also our great citizens in this city.'

Woods was arrested for a traffic violation then confessed to detectives about the robbery. She also implicated Harrell, Detective Tyrus Fontenot said.

I will not be surprised if one of the Vietnamese “social clubs” reaches out and touches those responsible.

I'd prefer that our judicial system handled it, but alas, our judicial system is broken.

I agree. That is precisely why I would not be surprised if some Vietnamese gents handle the situation in a rather direct manner.

Scott Adams said that and he got cancelled.🤔

I’ve been able to withdraw $1000 from my local banks ATM.

Scott Adams was right — it’s best to move as far away from dem ‘hoods as you possibly can. There’s no fix for cultural rot that advanced. Every last one of our major cities will be plunged into anarchy before long.
