A suspect has been hospitalized in Utah after a 69-year-old woman punched him in the head several times when he forced himself into her car.
Frances Mach arrived at her daughter’s Saratoga Springs home Saturday night about 9:30 p.m. when she said a man jumped into her car and told her to drive, a local CBS affiliate reported.
“He says ‘take me out of here … go!’” Ms. Mach said. “He started to reach for the steering wheel and he smacked me with the other hand and said ‘go!’”
That’s when she decided to fight back.
“I just balled up my fist and I nailed his head about three or four times and told him to get out of my car,” she told CBS. “He couldn’t believe it, I’ll tell you what, because I fought back. He looked about half-scared.”
Ms. Mach said the man got out of the vehicle and ran inside the home. She called the police, who arrived to see flames coming from an upstairs window.
