Is the video of an Audi driver who resisted a hijacking attempt last year the MOST watched video on Facebook now?
WATCH AND DECIDE IF YOU THINK THIS IS THE MOST WATCHED VIDEO
The video of the brave Audi driver who smashes his car into his attackers’ vehicle in Waterkloof, Pretoria, is still trending despite being shared on social media last year.
The terrifying moment was captured on a private home’s security camera before it was shared by leading crime activist Yusuf Abramjee on Twitter.
Or watch the VIDEO here.
THE TERRIFYING MOMENT WAS CAUGHT ON CAMERA
In the video, an Audi driver is seen moving towards what is presumably his home gate in Waterkloof.
A blue Toyota Corolla is seen coming to a halt behind him before a man armed with a hammer comes running to his window and starts smashing it several times.
Another man is seen approaching the Audi driver on the other side.

THE AUDI DRIVER LUCKILY REACTS QUICKLY
Rather than freezing, the Audi driver suddenly reverses and smashes into the attackers’ Corolla.
The Corolla’s driver immediately moved out of the way before waiting for his accomplices to jump back into the car to leave the scene.
WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU ARE HIJACKED?
- Pick up the language they speak. Even if you don’t understand it, identifying Afrikaans/Xhosa, etc., will help narrow any police search.
- Listen to the information they give each other. This may be conversations between multiple hijackers or their communications on cell phones.
- Note how many suspects are involved. It seems simple, but it’s effective.
- Try and see what shoes they are wearing. When these types of criminals commit crimes, they will change clothes but keep the same footwear on.
- Height estimates are a very useful thing to get. If you can compare their height to your own, this will be easier for police to interpret.
