In an interview with FOX 5 DC,<\/a> the woman, who did not want to be identified in fear of retaliation, said she had just parked her car, unbuckled her seatbelt and exited her vehicle to go to a restaurant Sunday afternoon when the attempted carjacking took place. She said the boy was startled after she refused to give him her keys and ended up running away.<\/p>\n

“I was just shaken up by it,” the woman said. “I didn’t really know how to feel. I was frozen.”<\/p>\n
