An Amazon driver is recovering after she was carjacked at knifepoint in Irvington, New Jersey while making a delivery.
The carjacking happened just before 5 a.m. on Tuesday, and it was all caught by a doorbell camera.
In the video, the Amazon driver can be seen at her car pulled over on Oak Avenue with her hazard lights on. She’s getting packages out to deliver when the carjacker’s SUV reverses back down the street.
One of the thieves gets into her car. The victim sees this and walks back to the driver’s side of her car.
The victim asks the suspect why they want her car and says she’s working.
As she backs away from the suspect approaching her, and allegedly pointing a knife at her, more words are exchanged and she’s allowed to get some items out of her car before the suspects take off with the vehicle, leaving the original car they were driving in the middle of the intersection.
Eyewitness News spoke to some people in the community who saw the video.
“I’ve seen this happening in other towns… it’s the first time I’ve seen it up close here,” one woman said. “We do have some issues with people flying through here in stolen cars.”
