Security camera captures moment Lewisville woman was attacked outside home

Lisette Toy told WFAA that she was walking to her home on March 24, when she felt like someone was behind her

LEWISVILLE, Texas — Lewisville police said one person is in custody after Ring video captured a suspect attacking a woman last month. 

Lisette Toy told WFAA that she was walking to her home in Lewisville on March 24, when she felt like someone was behind her. Ring video captured the moment when a man wearing a hoodie attacked her. 

Toy said the man knocked her down and started punching her. 

The mother of two had just dropped off her 8-year-old daughter at school around the corner and was walking back home. The attack happened around 8:50 AM per the Ring video. 

"When I saw him running towards me, I just thought I was going to die. So, if I was going to die people are going to hear me. My neighbor was outside, my grandma was inside. I didn't know if he had a gun or I didn't know if he had a knife," Toy told WFAA.

The attacker took off within seconds. Toy's neighbor, Latoya Smith, attempted to follow the man and find him but had no luck. 

"I just wanted to find him," Smith told WFAA. "I have a daughter who is 26 years old and I would hope someone would have done the same thing for me or her. It's just who I am. It's just who I am. I heard her scream from a few houses down and then I got in the car." 

Toy said she saw the same man just a week later, wearing the same clothes seen in the video. He was walking near her child's school. 

The Lewisville Police Department confirmed to WFAA that Toy was attacked at her home.

The suspect, who was positively identified through security camera evidence and witness statements as 23-year-old Gregory Govon Jones, is in custody. He was first arrested on an unrelated charge, Lewisville police said. 

Jones is now facing an assault causing bodily harm charge for his attack on Toy. His bond for the assault charge has been set for $5,000. 

Toy, who isn't taking what happened lightly, purchased a high-voltage taser and carries it with her now. 

She told WFAA on Tuesday that she's grateful for a helpful neighbor, but is now watching her back much more closely.
