A shocking dashcam video has surfaced showing the terrifying moment a truck driver was ambushed by robbers at Kapiringozi in Zambia.
According to sources, the criminals used a dangerous trick – squeezing the truck’s pressure pipes to force it to stop.
Before the driver could even bring the truck to a halt, the attackers, armed with stones, began smashing the windows.
Even after the truck stopped, they continued pelting it, creating a chaotic and dangerous scene.
Sensing the imminent threat, the driver reached for a steel pipe to defend himself.
“I will give you the money if that’s what you want,” he can be heard saying, but the robbers – about four of them – were relentless. As he tried to fend them off, one of the attackers approached from the passenger side, managing to open the door while the others tried to force the locked driver’s door open.
The situation quickly turned worse when the robber on the passenger side managed to snatch the steel pipe from the driver, leaving him defenseless.
