‘Shoot Him!’: Dashcam Footage Shows E-hailing Driver Fleeing For His Life In Eldorado Park Robbery

Dashcam footage circulating on social media appears to show an e-hailing driver fleeing an attempted robbery in Eldorado Park, Johannesburg, after a group of people allegedly targeted him inside his vehicle.

A voice can be heard shouting, “Shoot him, shoot him!” as the driver runs away. One of the men appears to be carrying a firearm and moving in the direction of the fleeing driver.

The footage appears to show a female passenger reaching for the driver's cellphone while a man in the back seat pulls the handbrake. The driver subsequently leaves the vehicle as the group allegedly takes his belongings.

The circumstances surrounding the incident have not been independently established, and the identities of those involved remain unverified.

Footage Appears To Show Coordinated Ambush

The video begins with a woman entering the vehicle, apparently after requesting an e-hailing ride. The driver is seen with his cellphone connected to a charger.

Another man subsequently enters through a rear door while the driver appears to be looking towards two men standing outside his window.

The woman moves towards the passenger door as if preparing to leave. One of the men inside then opens the door for the other two to enter.

A man seated in the back reaches forward and pulls the handbrake. As the driver appears to recognise what is happening, the woman reaches towards his cellphone before exiting the vehicle.

The audio captures a man shouting, “Shoot him, shoot him!” while another figure appears to move towards the driver with what looks like a firearm.

The footage does not establish whether any shots were fired or whether the driver sustained injuries.

Suspects Search Driver's Belongings

After the driver flees, two of the men return to the vehicle and appear to search through his belongings.

One is seen going through what appears to be a wallet before looking around the driver's seat. Another man later returns to the vehicle and appears to remove additional items.

Police Asked To Confirm Incident

The footage has prompted calls on social media for those allegedly involved to be identified and arrested.

However, the identities of the individuals shown in the video and the circumstances of the alleged robbery have not been independently verified.
