Dashcam video captured the moment a carjacking suspect pistol-whipped a private cab company driver in Philadelphia's Holmesburg neighborhood. The suspect drove off in the car and later abandoned it, police say.
Philadelphia police have released video they say shows the moment a suspect carjacked a driver at gunpoint earlier this week.
Police say the driver, who was working for a private taxi company, had picked up the suspect at Jackson and Bleigh Street. As the car approached Torresdale and Cottman, video from inside the cab shows the suspect producing a black handgun with an extended magazine. The suspect then appears to pistol-whip the driver as the car is still in motion.
