A Pennsylvania woman is facing charges of attempted murder after allegedly driving her car into her boyfriend following a dispute at a Taco Bell, authorities report.

Destenee Green, 23, is being sought by police in connection with the incident that occurred on New Year’s Eve, as stated by the Upper Darby Police Department. The altercation left her boyfriend with multiple injuries.

“The victim is fortunate to have survived,” the police noted in a press release issued on Friday. Further details were shared on their Facebook page.

The altercation reportedly began inside a vehicle parked at a Taco Bell on West Chester Pike. In an attempt to calm the situation, the boyfriend exited the car.

“He did the right thing by leaving the vehicle, recognizing the situation was escalating,” explained Upper Darby Police Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt in an interview with local ABC affiliate WPVI. “He walked away to avoid further conflict.”

Cops say the boyfriend began walking down the street when Green “drove her vehicle onto the sidewalk, traveling the wrong way, and struck the male from behind,” according to the Upper Darby Police press release.

“The female fled the scene and is now wanted by police,” cops report.

Surveillance footage obtained by WPVI shows the boyfriend walking in front of a car shop when Green allegedly mows him down from behind. The shop owner’s 12-year-old son saw the alleged attack unfold.

“I just hear a crash and I look outside and he’s on the floor, the car is destroyed from the front end,” the boy told WPVI. “If we didn’t have this truck he would have been not alive.”

Local police noted how they’ve seen an uptick in domestic violence incidents in recent weeks, with Bernhardt calling the holidays “a tough time of year” for many couples.

“I ask everyone to take a deep breath,” Bernhardt said. “Stay calm, walk away.”

The police press release adds, “No one should live in a toxic or violent relationship. Help is available 24/7.”

Green was still wanted for attempted murder as of Sunday. Her car has reportedly been recovered and she’s been asked to turn herself in.
