Police are looking for the four suspects who were caught on camera trying to steal a car parked in a residential driveway in Rocky Hill, Connecticut.

The suspect was eventually joined by three other suspects, two of whom attempted to punch the victim’s face while he was being held. The fourth suspect stood by and watched the incident unfold.

The attack ended when another person in the house yelled that they call the police, inspiring the gang of four suspects to flee in a black Mercedes.
A neighbour told NBC Connecticut, “It’s so close to home. It’s really frustrating,” said a neighbor.
“This incident is still under investigation by the Rocky Hill Police Department’s criminal investigation department,” the Rocky Hill Police Department said. “If anyone has any information regarding this incident, they are asked to contact Detective Matthew Seguin at 860-258-2047 or at mseguin@Rockyhillct.gov”)

Police noted that the man’s intervention in the attempted carjacking could have gone horribly wrong.
“Thank God he wasn’t seriously injured,” said Police Sergeant Rocky Hill. Jeffrey Foss-Rugan said, according to NBC Connecticut. “We see a lot of these incidents in the state and country where people intervene and the suspect may have a weapon.”
