PICO RIVERA, Calif. () — Shocking video captured the moment a man was struck and nearly run over following what appeared to be a parking lot fender bender at a busy Pico Rivera shopping plaza.
The chaotic situation unfolded just after 5 p.m. Thursday near Whittier and Paramount boulevards, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Video shared with Eyewitness News shows two vehicles stopped with their bumpers appearing to be touching in the parking lot.
The driver of the front vehicle appeared visibly upset and broke off one side mirror from the car behind him. Moments later, as he continued walking nearby, he punched and shattered the vehicle’s other side mirror.
The driver of the second vehicle then accelerated, striking the man and nearly running him over, according to the video.
Footage shows the man chasing after the driver as the vehicle sped through the parking lot.
Sheriff’s deputies responded to the incident and spoke with both drivers. Neither driver wanted to press charges, and both apologized to each other.
No report was taken, authorities said.
