Carjacking Was Foiled Because Suspects Couldn’t Drive Stick Shift

The unidentified suspects possibly fired a shot during the incident, though no shell casing was found

An attempted carjacking was foiled when the car the suspects tried to steal turned out to be a stick shift, police say.

The incident occurred Sunday night in Bethesda, Md., when two male suspects approached a man and demanded his keys, the Montgomery County Police Department tells PEOPLE.

But when the suspects entered the man’s vehicle, they were unable to drive it, reportedly because they didn’t know how to drive a car with a manual transmission, says the department.

The unidentified suspects then fled the scene.

The victim, who ran away, told police he heard a gunshot, but no shell casings were found.

A dashcam video obtained by FOX 5 DC captured the incident. It shows at least three individuals exit a red SUV, before one gets in the car they allegedly attempted to steal — which was reportedly a Porsche — while a man in the car appears to point a gun.
