In a shocking bit of incident, a driver saved himself from the jaws of death after his vehicle was attacked by a group of strangers. According to a CarToq report, the video footage shows that the incident took place near Jajpur in the state of Odisha. The video clip shows a vehicle on the go  at night. The time on the video suggests that it took place around 1:30am. Further in the video shows a bunch of people standing on the road flashing torchlights on the face of the driver as if asking to stop. As per the clip, the driver, at first thinks that the people must be the police, and stops the vehicle.

 

However, he soon realizes they are not police personnel and have stopped his vehicle in order to rob him. The driver immediately shifts the car into reverse gear and escapes. The gang of men that stopped him, start running behind the car hurling crowbars at the windshield of the escaping automobile. The driver of the car, however, manages to take a U-turn and keeps driving away from the men.  The complaint is yet to be registered with the Odisha police and no statement on the incident has been released by the local cops.
