Police searching for 'dangerous' man after he allegedly attacked his ex-girlfriend

NEW KENSINGTON, Pa. — New Kensington police are searching for a man they are calling “dangerous” after they say he ambushed his ex-girlfriend while she was delivering newspapers and then violently attacked her.

Pictures of the woman, Amanda Schafer, are circulating on social media.

She's out of the hospital but has injuries to her brain and liver, a swollen face and a black-and-blue eye.

The person who did this to her, according to police, is her ex-boyfriend Jeremy Chambers, who was just released from prison.

Police said Chambers attacked Schafer when she was delivering papers Saturday morning, less than 24 hours after she had filed a petition for a protection from abuse order against him.

"He came around and ambushed me and tried to kidnap me because he had duct tape," Schafer said.

Schafer said she was able to break free after a neighbor came outside.

"I keep saying, if that neighbor wasn't there, I'd be in a shell or in a ditch or a body bag," Schafer said.

Police said Chambers took off in Schafer's Jeep and hasn't been seen since.

"I can't do anything without looking behind and thinking if he's in the shadows," Schafer said.

Police are saying Chambers is dangerous, and if you see him, to call them immediately.

Police said Chambers took off in a 2007 silver Jeep Compass with Pennsylvania plate KPF7193.
