Mom-daughter duo fight off carjackers in Woodbridge with hot cocoa, bag

WOODBRIDGE, Va. (AP) — Police in Prince William County, Virginia, said two would-be carjackers fled from their intended victims when a splash of hot cocoa and a dash of resourcefulness entered the mix over the weekend.

Around 11:58 p.m. Saturday, police said in a statement that a 50-year-old woman exited a 7-Eleven at 15052 Cardinal Drive in Woodbridge, Virginia, with some purchased items when two men, one with a handgun, approached and demanded her vehicle.

The woman struck one man with her bag, police said, before her 22-year-old daughter threw her hot chocolate toward both men, who then fled on foot.

No one was injured and no property was taken.
