​A 28-year-old woman whose arms and legs have been amputated was thrown to the floor and beaten by the boyfriend with whom she shares an apartment, Jacoby Laquan Smith, according to charges filed in Ramsey County District Court on Friday.

And it was all because she wouldn't -- or couldn't -- get out of the 34-year-old man's way while he was watching television last Monday morning.

For a time, Smith blocked her from leaving the apartment and stopped her from calling for help by grabbing her cell phone away from her, but she somehow managed to persuade him to take her in her wheelchair to a nearby convenience store so she could get ice for her swollen jaw and lips, the Pioneer Press reported. While there, she got a clerk to call 911.

Smith took off and hasn't been seen since.

WCCO reported that neighbors were surprised by the news:

"He would be pushing her wheelchair and helping her out. I didn't think something like this would happen," Latonya Wulff, a neighbor said.

Smith has been has been charged with fifth-degree assault and interfering with a 911 call.
