Man threatens armed carjacker with weapon of his own

An Atlanta man turned the tables on a man who allegedly attempted to steal his car.

According to ABC News, Hashim Fannin pulled into a parking spot at Family Dollar when 61-year-old Edgar Horn entered through the passenger side and told him, “You know what this is.”

Fannin had his own gun, however, and asked that the man get out of the car. He had the would-be carjacker on the ground with the gun pointed at his back until police arrived.

“You went to bed and woke up stupid this morning, huh?” he said to Horn.

Horn was arrested for attempted robbery, ABC News reported.
