Thug run over while attempting to hijack motorist

In a similar article, Briefly News reported that a thug's plan to stop and hold a motorist at gunpoint failed dismally.

Being held at gunpoint is very scary. It is a life-threatening situation where you have no control over your own safety. The person holding the gun could be unpredictable and could harm or kill you at any time.
