Police are continuing to search for a man who stole a car with two girls inside — including a 13-year-old who fought the carjacker until he pulled over and abandoned the car.

The incident began Sunday afternoon at a gas station at 335 W. 7200 South in Midvale when the car’s driver went inside, leaving her 13-year-old and 4-month-old daughters in the back seat and the keys in the ignition. The man jumped in the driver’s seat, started the car and drove away — apparently unaware the girls were in the back seat.

“I was hitting him as hard as I could,” Milliam told FOX 13.
