In a troubling incident in Bengaluru’s Marathahalli area, a woman narrowly escaped an attempted carjacking while waiting in her vehicle. The alarming encounter was captured on video and has since circulated widely on social media, drawing attention to issues of safety and personal security in urban areas.
The video shows a man approaching the woman’s car and attempting to open all four doors. Upon discovering they were locked, the suspect shifted to the right side of the vehicle and attempted to break the window. Sensing the danger, the woman began recording the incident with her phone. In a quick decision, she started her car and drove away to safety, avoiding a potentially dangerous situation.
The attempted carjacking occurred in broad daylight on a busy street filled with pedestrians and passing vehicles. The well-lit environment did not deter the assailant, who acted without hesitation, raising concerns about safety in public spaces.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), the woman revealed her experience in hopes of raising awareness among others, particularly women. She emphasized the importance of staying vigilant and ensuring personal safety by locking car doors and trusting one’s instincts in precarious situations.
While the authenticity of the video could not be independently verified, it serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers that can occur in everyday life. This incident is not isolated; in August, burglars in Bengaluru’s Indiranagar were reported to have targeted parked cars during daylight hours, using specialized tools to steal valuables like laptops. Victims of that incident also took to social media to alert residents and call for immediate police action.
