Police were today hunting a gunman who tried to steal a man's car.
The victim was sitting in his Audi in Doddinghurst when a man brandishing what appeared to be a handgun told him to wind down his window.
The would-be car jacker then lunged for the keys, but the victim managed to drive away before he could take them.
The gunman escaped in a maroon box-style car.
