News Crew Helps stop Carjacking

A news crew from KMSP (Minneapolis) was covering a story on a previous crime that happened at a local grocery store.

While they were covering that story, an attempted carjacking took place and the crew helped chase off the attackers.

KMSP writes that Photojournalist Vanshay Murdock and Reporter Mary McGuire were working a story and as they were shooting video at the store at about 3:15 p.m., they witnessed three young men attempt to violently carjack a man in a Mercedes SUV.

In a video from our photographer's GoPro, a suspect appears to have entered through the backseat and is seen swinging at the victim behind the driver's wheel with an object that looked like a gun or possibly a power drill.

The photographer yells and honks his horn and the suspects eventually run away.
