Bystanders chased down and tackled a suspected car thief after he allegedly drove a stolen Tesla through a crowded San Diego pedestrian walkway, striking a woman and leaving her with serious injuries.
Video shows Juan Antonio Gonzaba, 39, fleeing the vehicle, which police told numerous local media outlets was stolen, and sprinting through a parking lot.
Bystander Alex Srour leapt into action, chasing Gonzaba down and pushing him while he ran, resulting in Gonzaba falling to the ground.

“I hear somebody behind me just scream like, ‘Watch out.’ And then I look and there’s like a Tesla just barreling at me going like 70 miles an hour,” Srour told KABC-TV.
Police charged Gonzaba with assault with a deadly weapon, hit-and-run and auto theft in connection with the incident, according to the San Diego Sheriff’s Office.

Srour, who recorded the incident on a pair of smart glasses he was wearing, said he was sideswiped when Gonzaba careened the Tesla down a pedestrian boardwalk.
“He hit my bike and it like pushed me really, it like launched me off to the side,” Srour told KABC, adding “people don’t expect a car to come through the boardwalk like it’s just not normal.”
