A Nutley New Jersey woman was recently a victim of multiple carjacking attempts in Jersey City, NJ.

The first carjacking incident happened around 1:35 p.m. The 30-year-old suspect was victimized when she dropped off her sister at a home located on Danforth Avenue near Kennedy Boulevard in Jersey City, New Jersey.

The woman shouted at the intruder to get out of her vehicle. She shoved the suspect until he exited the car.

The suspect then walked away, at which point the victim’s sister ran inside her home and dialed 911.

A short time later, the suspect allegedly tried to commit yet another carjacking of the same victim.
