A CREEP dragged a woman into a car as she screamed for her life after he bought rubber gloves in a random kidnap plot.
Cameron Boxall, then aged 21, lay in wait for the stranger to finish work having earlier chosen her as his victim.
He then pounced when she walked past his stolen car and attempted to drag in her inside as she screamed out: “No, no, no”;.
Boxall sped off with the victim hanging out of the passenger door and only freed her when she bravely fought back and punched him.
He has now been jailed for five years with an extended two years on licence after pleading guilty to kidnap.
Chilling footage released by shows Boxall, now 22, buying rubber gloves in a corner shop as he hatched the abduction plot.
He can then be seen hiding in a stolen Mini Cooper on the streets of Brighton – having switched the number plate from another vehicle.
Brighton Crown was told he identified the stranger as his “intended victim”; and parked up where he knew she would past.
As the woman finished work, Boxall approached and pretended to ask for directions in a bid to lure her closer to the car.
He then got out of the car while wearing a balaclava during the horror in August last year and told her: “Get in the f***ing car”;.
The victim had her head shoved into the footwell of the car as terrifying footage captured her screams while she fought for her life.
As Boxall drove away, he repeatedly attempted to close the door – causing the woman’s legs to be struck a number of times
Gareth Burrows, prosecuting, said: “She was punching him in every manner she could and this likely thwarted his objective.
“He pushed her out of the moving vehicle and she was found on the ground in a state of shock.”;
Boxall was arrested and tried to claim wanted to rob the young woman to pay a debt but her handbag was found untouched on the pavement where she was taken.
He was also seen in custody interview slapping his hands together and denying any wrongdoing.
In a victim impact statement, the woman told how she felt lucky to be alive following the horror.
She added: “had to fight really hard against him. I had bruises and scratches on back, arms and legs from where he threw me out of the car and a massive lump on my head.
“What happened has changed the way I view the world. I won’t go out on my own any more, I feel I’ve lost my freedom.
“I understand it’s a one in a million chance it will happen again but even going out in the day I’m anxious.
“I’ve not done anything wrong and did not deserve what happened to me.
“I struggle to understand the level of violence he used against me and I feel lucky to be alive.”;
Boxall admitted kidnap, theft of a vehicle, theft from a vehicle, driving without a licence, driving without insurance, making off without payment, and possession of .
Detective Sergeant Jack Sagar, from the and Major Team, said: “Boxall is a dangerous predator who preyed on a young woman innocently walking home putting her through a horrific distressing ordeal, where she feared for her life.
“We commend her for the immense strength and bravery she has shown throughout the incident and during our subsequent investigation. With the details she was able to provide, combined with our fast paced and intensive enquiries, we swiftly identified Boxall as the suspect and brought him into custody.
“We built a strong evidential case which, when presented to the court, resulted in a guilty plea ensuring this dangerous violent offender has been caught and taken off the streets.”;
