In a scene caught on video in Margate, Florida, chaos erupted as a man desperately clung to the hood of a car in a wild attempt to thwart a vehicle thief.
The attempt to stop the carjacker took place on Wednesday around 8:30 p.m. outside a strip mall near the intersection of 441 and Northwest 15th Street, Jerome Dingle, who witnessed the event said he heard screams, then saw a man clinging to his car hood as the vehicle sped off. This information was reported by Local 10 News yesterday following the incident.
"The man was literally on the roof and started screaming," Dingle claimed in an interview obtained by Local 10 News. The car, identified as a red four-door sedan, became the center of a dramatic escape as the alleged thief tried to flee, with the owner still atop the vehicle.
As of now, details about the victim's condition or the whereabouts of the stolen sedan have not been released by authorities. After the incident occurred, it was also not immediately clear if any arrests have been made, sending ripples of concern throughout the Margate community.
Further information has been requested from the Margate Police Department, but the specifics of the case including any potential leads or suspects remain under wraps. The search for both continues, as does the desire for a swift resolution. Another source, Accurate News Info, corroborated the story, although no additional insights were offered.
