"A Chilean tourist suffered cuts and grazes after being dragged about 100 metres behind a car in Nelson yesterday.
The incident happened when two men tried to drive off with the tourist's belongings.
Police said the two men had offered the 23-year-old man a ride to a backpacker hostel.
But he felt uncomfortable about the situation and asked to be let out of the car.
Acting Sergeant Terry Holland said that while the man was lifting his pack out of the boot, the driver drove off and he was pulled along the road as he hung onto his belongings.
The tourist managed to haul his bag out of the car, but suffered cuts and grazes to his shoulder and legs. He was recovering in Nelson today."
