( CNN ) -- A man committed an error when he tried to carjack the mother of baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. , Maryland authorities said Tuesday . Violet Ripken was at a bank parking lot in Aberdeen when the suspect , armed with a handgun , demanded her car . Ripken pressed the panic button on her key ring , setting off the car 's alarm and scaring the man away , the Aberdeen Police said in a written statement . Ripken was not hurt , they said . Police got a picture of the man from an ATM and tracked him down two hours later . He has yet to be charged , authorities said . They did n't release his identity . It 's not the first time Ripken has dealt with someone who threatened her with a handgun . She was abducted at gunpoint the morning of July 24 , 2012 , from her Aberdeen home . Her disappearance triggered a massive police manhunt and led to national media attention . Police said at the time that a man with a gun showed up at her home , forced her into her car and drove off . She was held captive for nearly 24 hours before being found the next morning in the back seat of her car near her home . Ripken 's hands were bound , but she was otherwise unharmed , police said . A spokesman for the Aberdeen police said it appeared the attempted carjacking was random . Lt. Fred Budnick said there was no indication Tuesday 's crime was related to the abduction . One of Ripken 's sons is Cal Ripken Jr. , who set the major league record for most consecutive games played with 2,632 . He was elected to the baseball Hall of Fame in 2007 . He has offered a $ 100,000 reward for the abduction case , which remains unsolved . He is now a broadcaster for TBS , which like CNN , is owned by Time Warner . His brother , Bill , is a former major leaguer who is a studio analyst for the MLB Network .
NEW : Police spokesman says this incident not related to her a year ago abduction . Bill was at a bank when she was approached by a man with a gun . She set off a car alarm , and he fled and was caught 24 hours . She was kidnapped by an armed man 2012 and held for 2 hours later .
