Near Midway Airport on Saturday, a Chicago bandit attempted to carjack the wrong man. At the intersection of 56th Street and Kolin Avenue, according to the prosecution, a Chicago resident turned the tables on a carjacker by disarming him and hitting him with his own gun.
A ski mask-wearing assailant came up to a parked automobile and pointed a gun at the female passenger. He instructed her to exit the vehicle. The female exited. The male driver of the vehicle was getting out when the carjacker approached the driver’s door.

He was asked for his wallet by the thug. Despite denying having one, the victim asked the criminal if he could remove his phone from the vehicle before the hijacker took off.
Not a chance, the carjacker said, keeping the victim’s phone.
