Video shows carjackers forcing Audi driver out at gunpoint in crime-ridden Chicago

Video shows a coordinated gang of carjackers forcing a driver out of his Audi at gunpoint and leaving him lying in the middle of a Chicago road as other cars drive by.

The newly revealed footage shows an Audi A4 pulled over on a four-lane road with its headlights on when two other vehicles approach from the other direction — turning to trap the Audi by blocking it at the front and rear.

At first, the Audi rolls forward as the desperate 27-year-old driver tries to escape, but within seconds, at least three men leap from the surrounding vehicles — with at least one pointing a gun at him.

The targeted driver is then dragged out and thrown to the ground as the gang “displayed handguns and demanded the victim’s vehicle,” Chicago police said.

An attacker is seen tying the driver’s hands behind his back, leaving him face-down in the street as others enter his car.

Chicago police confirmed that it is still seeking around six suspects for the shocking crime that was on the intersection of West Wabansia and North Western avenues at around 3:20 a.m. on Sept. 2.

I would have floored it as soon as the first "aspiring scientist" stepped out of the passenger side and followed up with as much “bang, bang, bang” as needed.

That said it took them so long I'm wondering if it was not a case of insurance fraud.

Carjacking is a horrible crime. Unfortunately, this particular example of it is no different than all the carjackings that have happened every day for decades. It's certainly a crime that needs to be prevented, but it is nothing new or caused by anything done within the last several decades. Bonnie and Clide hijacked cars.

Of course you would have, Rambo.

Anarchy is coming to America, and a part of that will be vigilante justice out of the barrel of a gun.

And also an attempt by police to stop it by their use of brutality and guns.

While half of America blames the other half!

Yep, I'm trained on vehicular invasion defense......While my training was with a van the driver still had near 3K worth of metal to play with.

Actually flooring it in reverse would have been preferred, more torque and less likelihood of damage of the engine/running gear for a escape.

The Bears are in Kansas City this weekend but even their stadium got broken into this past week and had over 100K worth of equipment stolen
