Woman Having 'Bad Day' Tries To Run Over Customer

MATTAPAN, Mass. (CBS) ?

This image from surveillance video shows the black SUV to the right just before it slammed into the gas station.

A woman who told a witness she was having a bad day may have taken her frustration out on a gas station.

Police say the woman used her black SUV as a weapon, nearly hitting people and then repeatedly ramming her vehicle into a Mobil Service Station, reported CBS station WBZ-TV in Boston.

Police are searching for the woman who they say pulled into the service station parking lot as a pedestrian was walking by. The pedestrian claims the woman drove too close and words were exchanged between the two. That's when the driver tried to run the pedestrian over twice by smashing her SUV into the building, police say.

I just couldn't believe it was happening. I mean from an argument to that - I just couldn't believe it was happening, said gas station owner Stacey Thomas. Then when she started hitting the building I was like 'what is going on?'

Police say the woman was driving a black Pontiac Aztec with Georgia license plates. The SUV has significant front end damage.

The same gas station was robbed at gunpoint three weeks ago.
