All it takes is some guts and the ability to fight. With those two things, you can fend off carjackers if need be. One Uber driver proved all this after being held at gunpoint for the duration of a ride in Houston. The incident was released on video by the Houston Police Department, revealing the man’s ability to put the carjackers in their place.

It all began when someone named “MJ” requested an Uber to take him a half-mile to Walmart. But in the middle of the ride, both men pulled out guns and changed the destination to an apartment complex.

What they didn’t know was the driver was an Army veteran. So, hate to shatter your ego, but that likely wasn’t the first time he’s been close to firearms.

It’s just this time, he was driving and the guns were in his back and pointed at his head.

Uber Driver Thinks Quick

“I’m gonna kill you man,” said one of the suspects as he lunged for the keys to the car. “I’m gonna shoot you.”

The driver was able to shove one of the suspects out of the car, then sped away. The other suspect, however, still held the gun to his head.

When the driver refused to stop, the suspect jumped from the vehicle, leaving behind his cell phone — on which the driver was able to call the police. He had lost his own phone as part of the commotion.

“I wasn’t scared in that situation at that time,” the driver said, via ABC 13. “I was just trying to escape. Luckily, he didn’t shoot me.”

Uber released a statement on the chilling ordeal as well.

“The actions of the riders shown in the video were chilling to watch and we are grateful the driver wasn’t injured,” it read. “We removed the rider’s access and have reached out to the driver to offer support. We look forward to assisting police in identifying those responsible.”
