"This dude just jumps in the car and he looks back and I realize it's not my dad, so I go, 'Who are you,'" 16-year-old Imama recalled in an interview with ABC's Chicago station WLS."I was just scared for my life, I didn't know what to do." The terrifying ordeal unfolded on Chicago's north side at around 11:20 p.m. Sunday while Imama, her 10-year-old brother and their 5-year-old sister were waiting for their father to return from grabbing dinner."I was in panic mode, like, I wanted to cry but I knew I had to do something that can help," she added.
"My phone was dead so I couldn't call 911," Imama added."I see my dad's phone in the passenger seat so I, like, try to strangle the dude from the back because I was right behind him."
