When a 10-year-old Antioch girl’s bravery and fast reactions prevented her brothers from being carjacked, she became a local hero.On social media, the Antioch Police Department described the incident and showed how Aliyah jumped to action when she saw an intruder.
At the Antioch Florist on Delta Fair Blvd., Aliyah’s mother briefly got out of the car, which led to the altercation. An unnamed male perceived an opportunity to quickly attempt to seize the car while the kids were inside during this brief period. However, Aliyah saw the impending danger and hurled herself from the back seat, throwing a flurry of fists at the would-be robber without hesitation. The attacker immediately gave up his attempt and fled the scene on foot, obviously unprepared to encounter such unexpected resistance.
Aliyah and her siblings immediately alerted their mother after the sudden altercation. Soon after, the police were called, and they paid Aliyah a visit at her house with a basket of gifts as a token of appreciation for her courage. The article from the Antioch Police Department praised Aliyah’s prompt efforts and highlighted how her persistence and presence of mind prevented the crisis.
DNA evidence was recovered from the vehicle as a result of additional investigation into the event, and video footage that showed the suspect making a quick getaway was also recovered. It’s interesting that the police pointed out that Aliyah is the niece of one of their officers, Officer Cruz Guzman.
