A 62-year-old newspaper deliverywoman refused to relinquish her vehicle to a would-be carjacker, telling the suspect, "No one is taking my car again," authorities say.
The woman, who works for The Jersey Journal, was delivering papers near Lexington and West Side avenues in Jersey City Saturday when she noticed a black car following her, police said.
She got out of her 2011 Hyundai at one point to drop off some papers and waved for the car to drive around her, but the car moved up in front of her vehicle, blocking it. A man jumped out of the black car and told her to step away from her Hyundai, authorities said.
The suspect shoved the woman, but she shoved him back and told him no one was taking her car.
The woman told police a woman wearing a traffic vest who had been sitting on the passenger side of the black car during the confrontation then slid to the driver's side; the man got back into the car and they drove off.
The woman followed the would-be robbers, saw them make a U-turn in front of a Hyundia dealership and flee west across the Lincoln Highway Hackensack River Bridge, she told police.
The woman couldn't get the make or model of the vehicle; she said it had tinted windows, a gold shield badge on the windshield and green laundry bins in the backseat. She told police no weapon was shown.
