He's threatening the woman with a 4" knife, demanding she give him her money, when she refused, Marciniak, leans into the drivers side window, telling her to give him her car. Again she refuses, so he crawls through the window into the passenger seat, takes her car keys from the ignition, while waving the knife just inches from her face. After struggling with the victim, Marciniak grabbed a dollar bill off the floorboard, and left through the passenger side door.
