Police are on the lookout for a pickup truck driver who allegedly tried to mow down a group of teenagers on a sidewalk in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday afternoon, authorities said.
The video, captured by a homeowner’s security camera, shows three teenagers running towards the park as they try to flee the truck barreling down the street.
The truck plows into one of the teens, but the others in the group manage to escape while the vehicle makes a U-turn at the end of the street near the park and drives away. It is unclear if any of the pedestrians suffered injuries related to the incident.
The teen knocked down by the vehicle was able to get up without assistance despite the force of the impact.
Javier Gonzales, whose camera recorded the incident, said he was in “shock” at what he witnessed.
“I looked at it, I rewinded it a few times just out of shock. I mean I’ve seen a lot of trucks like that. They are super common,” Gonzales told KOIN.
“It really seems like the cameras are the only thing that caught this and the people that actually got hit and the person in the truck,” he added.
Authorities say they are looking into the incident but noted that none of the victims had filed a police report on the alleged crime.
