A Florida woman successfully fought off two would-be carjackers with her bare hands while her two small children were inside her vehicle.

Surveillance video captured the dramatic scene at a Florida gas station.

After their first attempt at carjacking failed, the suspects turned their sights on a red convertible. When one suspect tried to get into the driver’s seat, the car’s owner fought back, throwing the man out of her vehicle which contained her 1-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son.

Both suspects escaped in a getaway car, which crashed after a brief police chase.

Nicholas Rosado, 19, Rebecca Utria, 21, and an unidentified 17-year-old male were arrested, according to ABC 7. Police said Utria served as the getaway driver while the two males attempted the carjacking.
