PASCO CO., FL -- Video captured the moment police say a Florida man hit his pregnant girlfriend with his car earlier this week.

Pasco County deputies arrested Justin Lee Colby, 33, late Monday night after he allegedly struck Crystal Lynn Noordhuizen, 32, while behind the wheel of his 2006 Dodge Charger.

Police say the two had a fight earlier in the day. They say Noordhuizen, who is 7-months pregnant, left her home to avoid a confrontation and was waiting on the side of the road for a ride to pick her up.

Noordhuizen told deputies Colby called her and asked if she was ready for her abortion date. She said Colby then drove onto the grass shoulder, hitting her.

Colby reportedly got out of his car, walked home and left on a white motorcycle.

Noordhuizen suffered only minor injuries. Colby is charged with two counts of attempted homicide.
