Dash cam captures intense video of attempted car jacking

A quick-thinking driver in Albuquerque, New Mexico, managed to avoid a car jacking attempt, and it was all captured on his dash cam.

The unnamed driver posted the clip on YouTube and explains that he was accompanying a friend to a store at about 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday. As soon as the driver exits the parking lot, he is immediately followed by a maroon Chrysler 300. It doesn't take long before the Chrysler cuts off the dash cam owner, blocking him in at a stop sign.

The driver quickly reverses to avoid a confrontation, and the two cars play cat and mouse as the driver calls 911.

"Who the fuck is that?" the driver can be heard saying on the video.

Fortunately, the two drivers just so happen to roll up next to a cop car at a stop light, and once the police officer is alerted to the situation, the car jacker takes off with the police in pursuit.

The cop was unable to get a plate, and ended the chase just a few moments later, but thankfully, no one was harmed in the ordeal.

"Since the license plates aren't clearly visible, APD can not pursue this matter any further. I'm just glad I was able to go home safe and sound," the driver wrote on YouTube.
