Attempted car hijack at USJ 11/3

I have received a telephone call from Mrs. Tan this afternoon about an attempted car hijacking near the Chatters cafe on Wednesday night, at about 9 p.m.

This is an unconfirmed report but apparently the attempted hijack was carried out by four men armed with parangs. They had tried to hijack a car, driven by a lady who had stopped along the houses and was about to pick up her child from tuition. They had smashed one of the windows and had wanted to drag the lady out of the car. But luckily, she had the good sense to honk continuously which had then attracted a lot of attention from the people nearby. That caused the car hijackers to panic and they then took off without causing further harm.

I have yet to get the full details of this case but once I do, I will update this posting.
