Investigators say he saw a man jump in the driver’s side door of the car, so he ran out of the bank and grabbed a door handle as the suspect drove away.

Durham regional police say he was dragged for a short distance before letting go and suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries.

The suspect got away with the car.
