We found this week’s story on Yahoo, and it goes like this:
Angie Padron was on her way to Miami when she stopped to put gas in her car. Suddenly, an armed carjacker jumped into the driver’s seat and another began banging on the window. What was extra scary was that her one-year-old girl and seven-year-old boy were in the back seat!
Angie’s maternal instincts kicked in, and she sprinted around to the driver’s door, dove into the car after one of the men, pulled him out of the vehicle and stripped off his mask! Then, the two guys quickly ran from the scene.
Angie says that she never stopped to think for one second about them having guns…she just sprang into action – only thinking about her children.
The two men and their getaway driver have all been arrested, and Angie and her children were all saved from a potentially horrific scene of events.
