Officers responding to a report of a stolen vehicle in the area of Charles and Stuart streets around 12:10 a.m. learned that a female BTD employee got out of her marked vehicle to issue residential permit citations when Emily Milano, 29, of Brighton, entered the car, which had the keys still in the ignition, and drove off, according to Boston police.
The BTD employee told police she attempted to open the door and her hand got stuck as Milano continued to drive.
The employee added that she fell, hurting her hand and bumping her head, police said.
She was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.
