Woman Heroically Fights Off Intruder in West Hollywood Car Incident

UPDATE: A shocking incident unfolded at a gas station in West Hollywood, California, when a stranger jumped into a couple’s Alfa Romeo while they were filling up on fuel, and the confrontation was captured on surveillance video. This urgent situation, which took place just moments ago, highlights the immediate need for vigilance among motorists.

The couple, Star and Mike Carter, were preparing for a night out to see comedian Deon Cole at the Hollywood Improv when the unexpected occurred. Just as Mike was momentarily distracted, a man hopped into the back seat of their vehicle, prompting Star to spring into action.

In dramatic footage, Star is seen forcefully pulling the intruder from their car, sending him tumbling to the pavement. “I had to remove him from my vehicle,” Star recounted. “When I got him out of the car, I kind of like, threw my hands up, and I went into a motherly instinct, and I told him, ‘Don’t you ever do nothin’ stupid like this no more.’”

Mike, who was temporarily stuck in his seatbelt when the incident began, described his astonishment at his wife’s quick response. “The next thing you know, I saw her jump out the car, and then he disappeared,” he said. “I looked over the back, and she did what she did. I said, ‘Ok, I know my wife is strong, but wow, she’s strong.’”

The incident raises serious questions about safety, especially for families. Star expressed her concern for her two daughters who also drive, saying, “It’s an eye-opener for me… you just have to be aware, not just my kids, but everybody, women.”

Witnesses at the gas station noted that the intruder appeared to be under the influence of substances, adding to the alarming nature of the encounter. The couple has shared the surveillance video with Eyewitness News to raise awareness about the potential dangers drivers face when stopping for gas.

As authorities and the community process this incident, Star emphasized the importance of staying alert while driving and at gas stations. The Carters were fortunate to escape unharmed, but this alarming experience serves as a stark reminder for all motorists to remain vigilant.
