Carjacking Attempt by 11-Year-Old

DEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich. (AP) - An 11-year-old Detroit boy was charged Friday with wielding a hammer as he tried to steal a car from a man in a supermarket parking lot.

The boy, one month shy of his 12th birthday, was charged with attempted carjacking and felonious assault. The man told police the boy approached him about 8 a.m. Thursday and demanded the keys to the man's car while the boy gestured with the hammer.

The man refused and called police, who went to the parking lot in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn Heights and arrested the boy.

His next court hearing was scheduled for June 26.

Crazy. The child might not even by able to see over the dashboard had he stolen the vehicle.
