Young Woman Fights Back Against Alleged Carjackers Who Pistol-Whipped Her in Parking Lot

A young woman decided to fight back against would-be carjackers who pistol-whipped her and was able to get them arrested after she chased them down in her flip-flops.

Michigan police said the incident unfolded in the parking lot of a Target store on Pardee Road in the city of Taylor at about 4:50 p.m. on Monday.

Rachel Smiglewski told WXYZ-TV that she was sitting in her boyfriend’s car when the attempted carjackers appeared at her window wearing surgical masks and threatening her with a gun. . .

She said she tried to call 911, but one of the thugs smacked the phone away and then hit her face with the gun. She said she could feel the blood spurting from her face when he put the gun to her head. . .

“All of a sudden, something snapped in me and I was like, ‘You know what? No, I’m not going to let this happen to me. This is not going to happen,'” she said. (Read more from “Young Woman Fights Back Against Alleged Carjackers Who Pistol-Whipped Her in Parking Lot” HERE)
