A Baytown mother fought back against a carjacking this afternoon to protect her two young children in the car.
It started in the parking lot of a Baytown CVS around 1:15 p.m. when police say the suspect, Ismael Martinez, attacked the woman inside her minivan. Her two children, ages 2 and 5, were also inside the vehicle.
According to Baytown police, Martinez pulled a knife on the mother and threatened the life of one of the children, demanding $200.
Police said the woman fought with Martinez, punching him in the mouth.
The woman stopped the vehicle, police said, and Martinez fled. When the woman drove again Martinez ran toward the van and was struck by the vehicle, police said.
Martinez was flown by Life Flight to Memorial Hermann Hospital in the Texas Medical Center after sustaining back injuries. He is said to be in stable condition at this time.
The two young children in the minivan were not hurt during the incident.
