Mansfield police have a wanted car thief locked up after getting help from police in Grand Prairie and from a private citizen.
Yesterday, Mansfield officers were called to an address on East Dallas street where a victim reported being assaulted, then the attacker stole the victim's car.
A few hours later, Grand Prairie police found the car thief going the wrong way on East Broad Street.
The wanted man was not going quietly and a civilian stepped in to help the Mansfield and Grand Prairie officers get control of the man who's now locked up on a string of charges including Aggravated Assault on a Police Officer.
A statement from Mansfield PD says simply: "Thank you to the citizen that jumped in to help!"
