Observe: Woman hops on car to thwart attempted carjacking
by: Joy Johnston, Cox Media Group National Content Desk Updated: May 25, two thousand seventeen – 1:31 PM
MILWAUKEE – A Wisconsin woman went to extreme lengths to stop her car from being carjacked Tuesday afternoon.
Melissa Marian recounted the incident in a Facebook post. She was pumping gas at a Milwaukee gas station when four teenagers pull up in what she says was also a stolen car. Surveillance movie shows one teenage leaping out and sliding into the driver’s seat while Marian is on the other side of the vehicle. When Marian realizes someone is in her car, she hops on the rubber hood and suspends onto the windshield wiper as the teenage drives off.
The teenage soon determines to abort the carjacking attempt, hopping out of Marian’s car with her purse, iPhone and wallet. He hops into the getaway vehicle which flees from the scene. Marian is able to bring her car to a stop as it rolls its way into the street. A man is seen coming to her aid at that point.
The incident left Marian shaken, but unharmed.
Marian said the teenagers were laughing via the incident, and she has a message for them: “This is not cool and it will not make you successful or good fair money.”
Marian told Fox6News that her deeds may not have been wise, but were fueled by «unspoiled adrenaline.»
The suspects have not been caught, but the car was fingerprinted, according to police.
