A 75 year old woman was pumping gas when she found herself a knifepoint, about to be carjacked. The woman opened the door of her car and doused the man with gas.
"I'm sure he was burning like mad," Smyth said of the Tuesday carjacking. "I mean, I drowned him right in the face."
Police caught the 52 year old man and said that he had apparently taken a shower. He had a bag of fuel drenched clothes and bar of soap.
A representative at the station where the woman was getting gas has offered to pay for the cleaning and repairs.
