'Give me the keys or we will knife you': Driver 'thought it was the end' as teens robbed Mercedes in terrifying carjacking

A motorist said he thought 'it was the end' after he was brutally attacked by teen robbers who pounced and stole his Mercedes.
Aaron McKenna, then 18, sped off in the expensive car after its owner had been punched, repeatedly kicked to the face and threatened that he'd be stabbed. Brave members of the public intervened and apprehended his accomplice.

The driver had parked his car on Temperance Street in Manchester city centre, just off the Mancunian Way, in April last year.
"Give me the keys or we will knife you," he was told as he returned to the vehicle just before 7pm. He was punched and kicked, and his chest and head were stamped on.
McKenna got into the car after the keys were wrestled from the victim, before he sped off and drove towards bystanders as he escaped. The victim suffered cuts and bruises, and a broken finger.
About a year earlier McKenna was involved in another robbery, when his victim was surrounded by youths armed with knives. He had agreed to sell a moped which he had renovated via Facebook Marketplace.
