An Atlanta-area man says someone tried to steal his car earlier this month -- but he didn’t let it go without a fight.

WSB-TV posted a cellphone video that shows car owner Hashim Fannin holding someone at gunpoint next to his vehicle. The apparent would-be carjacker is heard saying ‘No’ as Fannin confronts him.

“You were not trying to rob me?” Fannin says on the video obtained by WSB. “You just get in random people’s cars, huh?”

Police soon responded to the scene, and the suspect was charged with attempted robbery and entering an automobile, WSB reported.
