A MOTORIST has told of her terror as she tried to fight off a carjacker who robbed her BMW.
Elaine Roscoe, 54, had only stopped outside her Moston home for a matter of seconds before she was 'wrestling' with a thug over her car key.
Offenders targeted her seven-monthold BMW M235i and swooped as Elaine picked up her belongings from the front passenger seat.
She told the M.E.N: "You see it in the news, all over social media, but when it happens to you it's surreal.
"You see it happening to other people and you think 'I would do this or that, but you react how you react.
“It's horrible. It's shocked me, it's angered me. I think it's every emotion you can think of.
"You don't come home and think 'who will carjack me?" After enjoying some time off over Christmas, Elaine returned to work as an accounts assistant in Rochdale last Wednesday.
