Nearby surveillance cameras captured the incident and the 20 seconds after the two passengers were forced from the vehicle.

No one was hurt and the car was not damaged in the attempted carjacking. Â
The three suspects apparently were unprepared for the possibility they would encounter a manual vehicle, which are more and more rare in the United States leading to fewer people learning how to drive a stick.
