Good Samaritans gave chase in San Diego on Monday afternoon after a suspected car thief hit a woman on a boardwalk and tried to run off.<\/p>\n
The incident happened after a man allegedly stole a Tesla and drove onto the boardwalk in Pacific Beach. Part of the ordeal was recorded on smart glasses worn by one of the impromptu vigilantes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I hear somebody behind me just scream like, \u2018Watch out.\u2019 And then I look and there’s like a Tesla just barreling at me going like 70 miles an hour,\u201d said Alex\u00a0Srour.<\/p>\n
The Tesla was tracked by its owner through the car\u2019s app, according to police.<\/p>\n
When police first tried to pull the man over, the suspect fled before crashing into a transformer and hitting a 25-year-old woman, who was seriously injured.<\/p>\n
The suspect’s image was captured running from the scene on Srour’s smart glasses.<\/p>\n
Srour said he was almost hit, too.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe hit my bike and it like pushed me really, it like launched me off to the side.\u201d said Srour.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Srour and another bystander raced to tackle and restrain the suspect until police arrives.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople don’t expect a car to come through the boardwalk like it’s just not normal,\u201d Srour said. \u201cI think, I was at like in the right place at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n
