She called 911 and explained what had happened and where she was, near the Georgia Avenue-Petworth metro station in northwest Washington. The 911 operator dispatched the police to northeast Washington. Naturally, this took some time to straighten out. While she was waiting, the victim told the operator that the robber seemed to be coming back toward her.

The operator, according to Matthew Celia of The Washington Times, "told her to try to make him follow her so that the police officers could catch him" Understandably; she found the advice "not a cool idea" and did not follow it.
