An alleged female carjacker couldn't get into first gear when confronted with a manual vehicle in Sydney's south yesterday, police say.
The woman, 20, allegedly dragged a 49-year-old woman out of her Toyota near the intersection of Forest and Wyangala roads in Miranda, police said.
But the would-be carjacker found herself behind the wheel of a manual vehicle, which she didn't know how to drive, police said.
When she tried to run away, two men who had witnessed the incident stopped her and police arrived shortly after.
The driver was not hurt.
The alleged carjacker was arrested and taken to Sutherland Hospital, then Miranda police station, where she was charged with common assault and assault with intent to take or drive the car.
Bail was refused and the woman is due to appear at Sutherland Local Court today.
