A Georgia dad leaped into action on Sunday when the family’s SUV was carjacked at a gas station while his 8-year-old son sat in the backseat.
Malcolm Milliones was at was at the pump at an Atlanta station when his fiancee exited her car to go inside and pay. Moments later, a teen car thief jumped inside and took off.
In the backseat was Milliones’ son Rashaan. Milliones took off running and clung to the outside of the speeding car.
‘I’m kind of like this, hopping with it and running with it,’ he recalled to WSBTV.
Meanwhile, the thief managed to drive about a quarter of a mile with Milliones attached to the car. He soon fell off and broke his arm, but not before distracting the carjacker for a moment, thus slowing him down.
‘My son took that opportunity to jump out and he fell out like right here at the entrance to the Popeye’s,’ he said.
The carjacker then sped off.
Rashaan is now doing just fine, but police are still in search of the driver.
Now recovering from the broken arm and other injuries, Milliones said this is the third car theft experienced in his family.
‘It’s gotten to the point now where we’re talking about moving,’ he told WSBTV.
Three car thefts in his family alone? I’d be looking to move as well and fast. The crime in the cities is getting worse and worse and I heartily recommend to anyone who can get out, to get out now before it totally devolves into a science fiction novel out there. That’s one brave dad and his son was smart enough to get out of the car when he did. He says the thief was in his teens and looked panicked. That makes him even more dangerous. The dad should have been armed. I bet he will watch everywhere he goes from here on out. I know my family has for years. It’s a brave new world out there these days under Marxist rule.
