It happened Thursday afternoon on Jackson Drive. The landscaper was standing outside of his white truck when he saw a man steal a leaf blower from the back of the truck, police say.

The landscaper tried to stop the suspect by stepping in front of the getaway car.

"The victim grabbed onto the vehicle and the car continued to accelerate, only to slam on the brakes, causing the victim to fall off the car and hit his head on the pavement," said Brookhaven Police Detective Tim Habich.

Neighborhood surveillance video shows the suspect making his getaway in a silver Dodge Avenger. He took off while the landscaper waited for an ambulance.

The 23-year-old victim is in stable condition and hoping to get back to work.

"Here's a guy who just works for a living and I'm sure you're not getting rich landscaping and you hate to see anybody be a victim, especially when anyone gets hurt," said Habich.

Authorities feel good about finding the suspect.
