Police are looking for the suspected mall shoplifters who dragged a New Jersey security guard as he tried to recover merchandise from their SUV last month, authorities said.
Authorities said a guard for the Lord & Taylor in Willowbrook Mall in Wayne Township confronted three women in the mall’s parking lot Thursday afternoon after he got word they may have stolen items.
At some point, the women got in the car and took off with the guard clinging to the door.
Footage from the scene shows the man holding on for dear life as the white SUV swings around a row of parked cars. When the vehicle finishes the turn, the man loses his balance and grip and falls to the ground.
He hits the the concrete back-first; his head also bounces on the ground. Then, he can be seen lying motionless on the ground as the SUV speeds away.
The guard had a concussion and a minor cut, authorities said.

The trio -- who may have only faced shoplifting charges -- could be charged with aggravated assault, according to authorities.
