A disturbing video from Brazil circulating on social media has captured the moment a suspected robber was fatally hit by a vehicle during an attempted armed robbery.
In the now-viral footage, two members of a robbery gang can be seen riding on a motorbike when they approach an SUV in traffic.
One of the robbers who was seated at the back of the motorbike pulled out a firearm in an apparent attempt to intimidate the driver into stopping.
However, the robbery attempt took a dramatic turn when the SUV driver reacted by ramming into the motorbike, causing the armed robbers to fall onto the road.
Moments later, the driver reversed the vehicle and ran over the fallen suspect, killing him at the scene.
The second suspect, who initially appeared shocked and attempted to assist his accomplice, quickly abandoned the effort and fled after realising the driver might also target him.
The incident has sparked intense debate online, with many users discussing issues of self-defence, excessive force, and rising concerns over violent crime.
While some viewers have expressed sympathy for the car owner, others have questioned whether the response went beyond what was necessary to escape danger.
The video continues to draw attention globally, highlighting the growing risks faced by motorists and the extreme outcomes that can result from violent crime encounters.
