He allegedly robbed her afterward. The victim reported the incident to the police.
Investigators retraced her steps and released surveillance images of the suspect, which led them to Mobley.
“She’s a hero. She’s a hero. And I want to tell her she’s a hero. And I want to tell her thank you for what she did, thank you for coming forward,” police Capt. Kimberly Blackwell, who heads Detroit Police’s Special Victim Unit, told Fox affiliate WJBK-TV. “It’s a relief because we know for a fact individuals like that – they just don’t stop.”
