![Photo: Teen helps a man dig his car out of the snow then carjacks him ... http://bit.ly/1cuwicn [via Global Grind News]](https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1554367_10151953062593759_897697642_n.jpg)
Queens teenager fell victim yesterday, Saturday Jan.04 to a very bad Samaritan who hijacked his car, after first graciously helping to dig it out.
Genero Placenia, 18, approached a snowed-in 19-year-old as the teen struggled to free his car on 75th Street in Ozone Park.
Placenia volunteered his services, pushing the vehicle from behind as the grateful victim, whose name is being withheld, hit the gas from the driver’s seat.
Once the car was freed, Placenia asked the victim for a ride to a location in East New York. No ingrate, the teen agreed.
But when they got to Brooklyn, Placenia suddenly pulled a gun on the victim, kicked him out of the car, and drove off, police said.
He also took the stunned teen’s iPhone 5, and $60.
“Definitely makes me think twice about people trying to lend a helping hand, and that’s sad, especially this time of year, around the holidays,” said a neighbor on 75th Street.
“Can’t even trust someone offering to help.”
Cops searched the area and spotted Placenia in the victim’s car.
Placenia jumped out and tried to flee, but cops caught up with him and charged him with several offenses, including robbery and possession of a weapon.
#What a bad snow-job!!!
