This is the terrifying moment a suspect sitting in the back of a police car suddenly pulled out a gun on an officer – while the whole thing was being filmed on dashcam.
The video, which has since gone viral, shows the man calmly sitting in the back seat before making a sudden move and reaching for a firearm. Within seconds, the officer’s life is put in immediate danger as the suspect tries to turn the tables from the back of the squad car.
An on-screen caption reads “Suspect pulls gun on officer from backseat” while a huge red arrow highlights the shocking grab. The footage, straight out of a Hollywood thriller, has left viewers stunned, with many calling it “one of the scariest things ever caught on police cam.”
It’s unclear how the officer managed to react in the heat of the moment, but one thing’s for certain – this footage shows just how quickly things can go from routine to life-or-death inside a patrol car.
Social media users have been left speechless, with one commenting: “This is why police officers never let their guard down.” Another wrote: “This could’ve ended so badly in seconds.”
This heart-stopping clip is a reminder of the unpredictable and dangerous situations officers face every day – and just how fast things can spiral out of control.
