Thank you. Such stories are inspiring.
ReplyDeleteOne puzzle: If the carjacker was in the backseat and she was in the front, how did she manage to punch him in the face?
Perhaps he leaned over the front seats. Or perhaps she was placing something into the back seat.
Against someone coming from behind, martial arts instructors might recommend a right elbow strike to the nose as superior to a fist-strike, but her quick move worked!
