In grainy surveillance footage she shook the man’s hand, but appeared to be wary and back pedaled as she shook his hand. “She’s backing away as she’s looking at him,” Captain James Smith of the Philadelphia Police Department told ABC News affiliate WPVI-TV in Philadelphia. “She knows something’s up.” The man then lunged and grabbed her, rushing her down the street and into his car.
