Witnesses were taken aback by the incident, and one man who was carrying a black backpack ducked out of the way as a black automobile followed closely behind the Rav4.
It collided with the Rav4 once more and caused it to spin around before both vehicles came to a stop in the center of the road. A man who was observed wearing a grey hoodie was seen knocking on the passenger window of a Rav4 before racing around to the driver’s side of the vehicle.
He is armed and dangerous! He is armed to the teeth! A witness who was present at the event and observing its progression yelled, “He’s got a gun!”
A few seconds later, the man who was wearing the gray hoodie got back into the black car and drove away.

According to a survey published in June, various towns around the country that are controlled by Democrats have seen an increase in the number of violent crimes committed this year in comparison to 2021.
Following an analysis of the available data, Fox News came to the conclusion that the rates of violent crimes such as homicide, rape, robbery, and assault in New York City, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Baltimore were on track to exceed the levels recorded in the previous year.
New York City, which is led by the Democratic Mayor Eric Adams, was hit the worst by the sharpest increase in violent crime.
