That&#8217;s when Young began screaming and kicking the van doors for help because he was locked inside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHelp me! I\u2019m inside,&#8221; Young is heard screaming.<\/p>\n<p>Homeowner Nercy Toledo said Young was banging on the door for a while, saying he couldn&#8217;t breathe.<\/p>\n<p>The surveillance captured officers getting Young out of the van. According to an arrest form, the landscapers did not let Young out of the van until police arrived<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were machetes inside the truck, and he could\u2019ve just come out and hurt anybody, so they left him in there,&#8221; Toledo said.<\/p>\n<p>Young told police that he was handing out business cards when a dog chased him.
