ONLY ON POTOMAC LOCAL: Driver charged for towing car with family inside used truck to crush woman’s foot

MANASSAS — It’s not the first time Mohaned Zyoud has been in trouble with the law, court records show.

He’s now charged with attempted malicious wounding after police said he towed a car from the 15600 block of Jefferson Davis Highway, near Koons Automotive, at 9 p.m. Thursday, July 18.

Inside the car were a woman, three children, and a dog. As Zyoud, a driver for A & A Towing Services was pulling away with the car in tow, a man ran toward his truck and caught up with him, pleading with him to stop. The man stood in front of the truck trying to get the truck to stop and was struck, but wasn’t injured, police said.

The truck stopped, and the man opened the driver’s side door, and that’s when Zyoud punched the 25-year-old man in the face, according to police.

He’s due in court on this latest charge on September 19.

Last year, Zyoud, 23, was found guilty after he used his tow truck to crush the foot of a woman whose car he was towing from a Lake Ridge neighborhood.

Court documents show Zyoud pulled his tow truck up to a house on Misty Lane at 11:03 p.m. on July 2, 2017. The victim’s car had a visitor parking pass that had expired, so Zyoud backed his truck up to the car and hooked it up, according to a police report.

In the process, Zyoud ran over woman’s foot. The woman now screaming in pain, the victim’s son got the Zyoud to stop his truck for a moment to tell him he had run over his mother’s foot, according to court records.

Zyoud stopped and then said he didn’t see any blood coming from the victim’s foot, and then sped off, according to a police report contained in the case file.

Also inside the case file — a photo the woman’s bruised foot.

Zyoud was found guilty on July 16, 2018, of reckless endangerment. Of the $507 he was fined by the court, a total of $354 of it was ordered to be paid to the victim as restitution.

Zyoud was sentenced to 30 days of jail time but served none of it.

Court records show Zyoud is a founder of the towing company A & A Towing. No one answered calls placed to the phone number on file for the business.
