SOMERS, WI (WISN/CNN) – It is said that "no good deeds goes unpunished," and that seems to be true for a 75-year-old Wisconsin man who fought of carjackers in his driveway after doing them a favor.
Army veteran Alex Weber's kindness nearly cost him his car after he said a man and a woman asked for his help.
"A woman got out of the car and said, ‘Hey we're out of gas,' and I said OK, I don't have any here but I'll get you some," Weber said.
Weber said he took the man and woman for a ride to a nearby Kwik Trip and then drove back to his home in Somers to fill the tank. On the way home, Weber said the man tried to attack him with a tire iron, while yelling for the woman to get the keys.
"All at once I see this tire iron come over my head. I just dropped the gas and grabbed the rod," Weber said.
Weber kept the keys and his cool and ran towards his house to call the police. His assailants took off for Walmart where deputies spotted their car and found them inside.
Deputies said both assailants tried to take off, and the man had to be shot with a Taser gun.
Police said the suspects are from Iowa and were both on probation
