Mom fights off knife-wielding carjacker, Dorothy Baker says she was only protecting her two children when she daringly fought off an accused carjacker, punching him in the face and crashing her car into a pole to try and throw him out.

A Texas mother protecting her kids from an alleged knife-wielding carjacker engaged in a terrifying hand-to-hand fight behind the wheel of her vehicle that ended with the suspect being thrown out, run over and hospitalized.
“I told him he messed with the wrong witch,” Dorothy Baker told ABC of her frantic battle coursing the roads of Baytown, Texas.
Police say Ismael Martinez, 54, snuck inside the backseat of Baker’s parked unlocked minivan waiting for her to return from a CVS drug store when he sprung up on her.
Allegedly holding a knife to her oldest son, she says he demanded that she drive him to the nearest ATM.
“He popped up out of the backseat and said that if I didn’t want my kids to get hurt, that I would do exactly what he said,” Baker emotionally recalled.
Ismael Martinez, 54, faces felony charges for the attempted carjacking, adding to his previous wrap that includes rape and burglary convictions.
Terrified, with her two young kids, 5 and 2, strapped in the backseat with the accused villain, Baker says she did the first thing that came to mind: fought back.
“I took my fist and I hit him in the face, and I told him to get out of my car,” Baker said.
The mother next intentionally drove her vehicle straight into a pole, hoping to send him through the windshield or at least injure him.
When that didn’t work, the mother continued to use her own physical force against him while dually managing to call 911.
Her husband says she has the scar to prove it.
