Woman Heroically Removes Intruder from Vehicle at WeHo Gas Station
UPDATE: A dramatic encounter unfolded at a West Hollywood gas station when a stranger jumped into a couple’s Alfa Romeo while they were refueling. Security footage shows the intense moment when Star Carter sprang into action to remove the intruder, highlighting the urgent need for safety in public spaces.
The incident occurred on the evening of October 15, 2023, as the Carters were preparing to enjoy a night out at the Hollywood Improv for a comedy show featuring Deon Cole. They stopped to fill up their gas tank, unaware that a shocking confrontation was about to take place.
Just as husband Mike Carter was about to return to the vehicle, a man allegedly under the influence approached and unexpectedly jumped into the backseat. Mike, who had momentarily been locked in his seatbelt, was unable to react quickly enough. Star immediately recognized the danger.
“I had to remove him from my vehicle,” Star recounted. “When I got him out of the car, I threw my hands up and went into a motherly instinct, telling him, ‘Don’t you ever do nothing stupid like this no more.’ And he just kind of walked away like, ‘Is she crazy?'”
The couple’s ordeal was captured on surveillance video, which they are now sharing to raise awareness about safety at gas stations. Star described the situation as an eye-opener, particularly as a mother of two daughters who also drive.
“It’s an eye-opener for me because I have two daughters that drive,” she said. “You just have to be aware, not just for my kids, but for everyone, especially women.”
Mike expressed his admiration for Star’s quick thinking and strength during the incident. “I looked over the back, and she did what she did. I said, ‘Ok, I know my wife is strong, but wow, she’s strong.’ Because the guy was on the ground,” he said.
Authorities are reminding motorists to stay vigilant, especially in busy public areas. The Carters were left shaken but unharmed, emphasizing the importance of being aware of one’s surroundings. Their story serves as a crucial reminder of the potential dangers that lurk in everyday situations.
As the Carters continue to process this frightening experience, they hope that sharing their story will encourage others to be cautious and alert. The video footage serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of public spaces and the need for vigilance.
