San Diego police Sgt. Jim Schorr said the woman was pushing a shopping cart near the intersection of 6th and Pennsylvania Avenues in Hillcrest about 10:45 p.m. when a man rode by on a bike and grabbed the bag from the cart. It's not clear whether he knew her 12-year-old dog was inside.

The man started to ride away, but the woman swung her book bag at him, knocking him off his bike. She then kicked him in the groin and snatched back the bag containing her dog.

The man got up, hit the woman in the head and rode off on his bike, police said.

The woman and the dog were not injured in the attack; the would-be dognapper is still on the loose.
