Granny faces off with suspected carjacker in Missouri

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (WPVI) -- A 64-year-old grandmother faces off with a suspected carjacker in Missouri.

The woman was at the gas station near St. Louis on Sunday night, when a man walked up to her car.

He told her to get out, demanded her keys, and said he had a gun.

"I said, really, go away and leave me alone. I was going to try to shut the door and that's when I realized I couldn't get the door shut. So I started kicking and screaming and beeping the horn. That's when he yanked on my clothes and ripped them and pulled me out and threw me to the ground," said the victim.

The grandmother suffered scrapes and bruises to her hip, arm, and head.

Police used the car's 'on-star' system to track it to North St. Louis, where they also found the 26-year-old carjacking suspect.

He is charged with first degree robbery.
