Reply to comment by NPRjunkieDC in Carjacking at Union Station this Morning. Victims chased suspect to 7th and H NE and suspect bailed. by Swampoodle1984

Sometimes not a good idea to comply either. The day I got nearly car jacked I froze and was more afraid of what the multiple guys with guns pointed at me would do if I got out. I used as much of the dash and seats as I could to block as much of me as possible, got a 911 call triggered and they took off. A little while later another car jacking happened a few miles away, the guy gave up the car, and was beaten and shot. Don’t know if it was the same guys or not. Cops said I was the third attempt that morning.

Wow! I'm so sorry you were a victim of this violence. I'm surprised they noticed the 911 call unless it was shining on the dashboard. In any case, kudos.

It was on the dash mount so the one saw when I triggered it. They were quick too. It felt like it was so long before they took off, but after exiting dash cam footage down to just the incident for the cops it wasn’t long. From the time they blocked me in until they hopped back into the car and took off was 50 seconds.
