Home security cameras caught a frightening scene in Oxon Hill, Maryland, Thursday when police say an armed teenager tried to carjack a man outside his home.
It would have been the second carjacking to happen in front of Jheyco Borda’s home. But he and other family members decided to fight back.
Borda said he was installing a dashcam in his truck when he noticed a group of people, who appeared to be teens, walk onto his block.
“And I saw six kids come by playing around … And out of my corner of my eye, they stepped in front of my car … in front of the neighbor’s house,” Borda said in an interview with News4’s sister station Telemundo44.
Borda said he quickly called his brother, who was in the house, and then got out and began securing things in the back of his truck.
“I saw them put on a face mask. As soon as I figured that one out, I was like, something’s about to go down,” he said.
One of the teens then went up to Borda and pointed a gun in his face.
“And I told him, ‘The car is on. The keys are inside.’ And he saw my phone and was, like, ‘Give me your phone, too.’ So I gave it to him. When he got distracted looking at my phone, that was the split second when I grabbed the gun out of his hand,” Borda said.
Borda, a former member of the U.S. military, was joined by his brother, who’s about to enlist in the Air Force.
“Then my pops came out, and he got control of one guy,” Borda said.
During the struggle to get control of the gun the teen pulled the trigger, Borda said.
The family eventually subdued two of the teenagers and waited until police arrived.
There’s a large bullet hole in Borda’s truck. He said he’s grateful no one was hurt.
