Amid rough winter weather, a man allegedly attacked two separate drivers who came to his aid, and he managed to carjack one of them before Iowa State Police managed to stop him with a PIT maneuver on Friday.

Jermaine Leatre Shetworth Ware, 28, is currently in the Polk County Jail without bond for charges including eluding, theft in the second degree, robbery in the first degree, interference with official acts, and operating while under the influence, records show.

Cops in Des Moines, Iowa, said a driver shortly after 6 a.m. picked up a pedestrian who looked like he needed help.

Shortly into the drive, the pedestrian — Shetworth Ware — violently assaulted the 50-year-old driver and tried to steal the car, police said.

That theft attempt failed, and Shetworth Ware flagged down another driver on I-235. This carjacking attempt was successful, they said.
