A man struggled with a carjacker and was dragged across a parking lot late Saturday night before falling to the ground when the suspect hit a light pole. The man was standing next to his running car in the parking lot of the Grocery Outlet and Third and Maple around 10:30 p.m. Saturday when he was attacked, according to police.
