Winnie Bonthuys took to Facebook and described how she was confronted by the three teenagers who hurled a brick at her windscreen and attempted to grab her car keys.

She said the aim of the post was to create awareness for female drivers like herself.

A quick-thinking Winnie managed to hit one of the attackers' hands away.

She said God had spared her life after a faulty door button made it impossible for the hijackers to gain access to her vehicle.
