A Pennsylvania man admitted brandishing a knife during an attempt to grab his former girlfriedn in Atlantic City last year.
Lucas Moran, 27, from Dunmore, Pa., pleaded guilty last week to one count of third-degree aggravated assault on a domestic violence victim. He faces a five-year sentence.
Police were called to Adriatic Avenue on Sept. 28, in reference to a person being dragged into a vehicle.
Moran dragged the woman into a Chrysler 300 with a Pennsylvania registration, according to the case.
The victim told police that Moran brandished a knife during the attempt but she was able to escape.
The woman’s mother was able to keep him from dragging the woman back into the vehicle, according to the report.
Moran fled, driving west toward Absecon Boulevard. State Police located him driving on the Atlantic City Expressway, and detained him.
A foldable tactical knife was found on Moran.
He has been in the Atlantic County Justice Facility since his arrest.
Moran is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 15.
