Two women pepper sprayed in South Seattle carjacking attempt
SEATTLE -- Police say a pair of would-be carjackers pepper sprayed two women Tuesday night in an attempt to steal their car.
The women -- both in their 50s -- pulled up to a red light at Martin Luther King Jr. Way South and South Graham Street at roughly 6:15 p.m.
As they waited for the light to turn green, police say two unknown men walked over to the car and pepper sprayed the women.
Before the men could get inside the car, the driver hit the gas and sped away through the red light. Luckily, the woman made it through the intersection without hitting any other cars.
The carjackers took off running southbound on Graham and the victims pulled into a nearby convenience store to call police. Medics treated the pair for exposure to pepper spray, but they were otherwise uninjured, according to police.
Officers searched the area but were unable to find the carjackers. Police have not released a detailed description of the men.

LOL reading the comments below about racist this or racist that. An unsavory comment does not mean you are a racist. You are a racist is you believe you are a superior being based skin color and that swings all ways (ever been down South to certain areas you would not dare walk if you were any color but very dark).
Apparently the hugs are not working for a small number of people who actually belong in prison. (Note to college professors, Bruce Harrell, and youtube activists)Â
Well that's great. The carjackers will realize the pepper spray was no good and use a gun next time.
Is WPNW really a racist? Just because you make an assumption based on statistical data or makes a comment concerning race, does not make you a racist. For all you know, WPNW may be black as well. Is it Black History Month already? When I first heard of the Newton shooting, I assumed it was a white male. That doesn't make me a racist. When I hear of a crotch rocket rider wrapping himself around a pole, I assume it's a white guy breaking the law while riding. There are just some statistics that can't be disputed. One of those statistics is if a crime of that nature happens around MLK Way, there's a good chance that it's "Darky" who did it. Let's be real people; let's call a spade......Well, a spade.
MLK way hum go figure. Even if I were 'dark skinned' I wouldn't drive through there.
I hope they find those idiots
I must say I am absolutely stunned that I scroll thru the comments and no jackass decided to say something stupid and repetitive like "ban pepper spray!"
@Zoso Well, I don't want you disappointed so I will go for the obvious zinger......It must be a gun free zone.

@LoJack @WPNW Like is such a bad thing to be racist.. You idiots pull that crap so much it doesn't mean anything anymore..
On your way little boy..
@WPNW @LoJack And people like you are why !
It's not often that you hear of the savages using pepper spray during a robbery attempt.
"Officers searched the area but were unable to find the carjackers. Police have not released a detailed description of the men."
Oh that's not exactly true KOMO.

"The suspects are described as two dark-skinned males in their 20â²s, one of whom was wearing a dark jacket and blue jeans."
@dylandawgie I hate to actually defend KOMO, but it is possible the description wasn't in the original report they got.
@dylandawgieÂ
Thanks, dylandawgie. I would suggest that you get a job as a KOMO reporter, but you're obviously overqualified!
@dylandawgie Thanks Dylandoogie! now you can go out there and go hunt for those "Pepper Spray" Carjackers! LOL!
@dylandawgie Thanks Dylan! KMO often seems to omit such crucial information in their misguided attempt to be PC...
@DrugFighter Yes, they do it to protect their pets, at ALL costs ..
@DrugFighter @dylandawgie They had no problem giving a description of the Hispanic hit and run drivers, it seems like they only omit descriptions when the suspects are of a particular race.
