KUALA LUMPUR, 28 SEPTEMBER, 2011: A woman nearly lost her 14-month-old son in a carjacking incident in Jalan Kuching here tonight.

In the 9.15pm incident, the victim Tan Lin Chiang, 26, was heading from Selayang to her Taman Wahyu home with her son Ong Chen Hau, 14 months, when suddenly a red coloured car with four men knocked into the rear of her Honda Accord car.

"I pulled to the side and got out, but feeling uneasy, I got back into my car. Three of the men came up and pulled me out of the car and drove off with my son inside," she told reporters when met at the Jinjang police station here.

Tan said she ran after her car but to no avail but fortunately for her a taxi driver passing by came to her aid.
  
   
"He called up my husband and told him what had happened. He then sent me to my husband's place in Jinjang," she said.

Tan said about 45 minutes later she succeeded in calling her handphone which was left behind in her car and was answered by someone in a restaurant in Jinjang.

"The person answering told me that a little boy was abandoned at the five-foot way in front of the restaurant. I and my husband rushed to the restaurant and found our son still strapped in his baby seat. The suspects left him behind together with my handphone and handbag there," she said.

She said although she lost her car, she was very glad that her son was safe.
