Video shows the moment a New York City man was fatally flung from the hood of a BMW after he tried to stop thieves from stealing out of his car.
Mauro Chimbay, 43, had been in a Queens park playing volleyball when he heard the alarm to his parked Toyota Highlander SUV go off as a thief could be seen smashing through a rear passenger window and stealing a box, police said. Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
The harrowing security footage shows Chimbay and a large group of people running from Gorman Park, in East Elmhurst, to stop the car thief who can then be seen jumping into a waiting white BMW sports car being driven by another suspect.
