Mom punches, runs over would-be robber

Crook threatened her kids with a knife

The bad guy was hiding in the third row of Dorothy Baker’s minivan. He waited until she was about to drive home when he popped up with a knife and told them he wanted all of their cash.

Baker asked Ismael Martinez how much he needed and he answered saying $200.

Baker told Martinez she only had $20 but he threatened to harm her kids if she didn’t come up with it.

She then punched Martinez in the face and told him to get out of the van. Stunned, Martinez got out and tried to run away.

Baker was driving and tried to call 911 but the crook saw her and jumped toward the front seat. The mad mom was able to take the knife away from Martinez and then the fun began.

Baker chased him with the van and tried to knock him down by nudging him. Martinez moved at the last moment and baker ended up running the bad guy over.

It turns out Martinez had served time for rape and will be charged, after he gets out of the hospital where he is listed in stable condition.

Baker told WFAA-TV in Dallas she told the guy "you messed with the wrong witch."
