The two tried to rob 46-year-old Louise Le Grange of her BMW just metres away from her home in Klein Windhoek's Van Coller Street.

Le Grange told The Namibian yesterday that she had left her home at around 11h48 that morning.

When she stopped at a stop street, she heard her front passenger window being smashed, only to see two men, one armed with a gun, looking at her.

"I was so shocked, and this guy was screaming and shouting at me," she recalled.

Instead of giving in to the carjackers, Le Grange put the car in reverse and ran over one of them.

"Just then a car from one of these private security companies came past and they [the suspects] managed to run into the bush", she said.

The Police yesterday confirmed the incident.

No arrests have been made.
