Atlanta police are currently seeking information regarding two unidentified men who violently attacked a woman while attempting to steal her car. Jasmine Warren, 25, is shown in surveillance footage walking back to her car at an Exxon gas station in northwest Atlanta Saturday before two men emerge and start hitting her.

One of the men is shown hitting Warren over the head with a gun, though the presence of a firearm did not deter her from protecting herself. "What made me not fear him was when I looked into his eyes and I could tell that he was afraid himself," Warren toldWSB-TV Thursday.

The men ultimately failed to steal the vehicle, as Warren managed to break the key in half after one of the men placed it in the ignition in an attempt to escape. After botching their carjacking attempt, the men fought Warren for her phone and disappeared. "God had me," Warren said. "He surrounded me and I was so thankful for that, but I also knew I wasn't going to let them take my stuff."

But Warren's message for the men who violently attacked her is not one of anger, but of peace. "If you need help, come find me," she said. "I would love to help you even after the fact that you've done that to me. I don't care. I will still help you." 

The Atlanta Police Department did not immediately respond to Complex's request for comment.
