The victim told officers the man said "you're not going to believe this, but I need a ride and if you scream, I'll shoot."

The victim grabbed the gun by the barrel and they fought over it. She then put the car in reverse and left the scene. She traveled a few block away down Thompson Lane before calling Murfreesboro Police.

The suspect is described as a white male with red hair and had a scruffy appearance.
