A Florida mother was caught on camera throwing a would-be carjacker out of her vehicle while her two children sat in the back.
The unidentified mother of two was seen on a convenience store’s surveillance camera Monday night grabbing one of three suspects who opened the passenger door of her car. The woman than gets into a short scuffle with the man before he “ran away like [a] coward,” according to police.
“She was a mom and what that bad guy didn’t know, in the back seat of that car were two kids,” said Carl Zogby of the Hialeah Police to WSVN News. “She wasn’t going to let them be taken, so she fought, she dragged the guy out of the car, and they both ran away like cowards.”
