SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - Police have arrested a man they said was involved in a violent carjacking in Kendall.
According to Miami-Dade Police, two men stole a woman’s white 2010 Lexus near Southwest 115th Avenue and Quail Roost Drive, Thursday morning.
Officials said the victim was inside the car when two men approached and forced her out at gunpoint.
Hours later, police swarmed a Kendall neighborhood where one of the suspected carjackers was found in the stolen Lexus.
Dramatic video captured the scene as officers arrested a man.
A witness described the moments leading to his arrest.
“As we’re doing the edging on cutting grass, the cops showed up, 15-20 cops, out of nowhere, and you guys pulled him out,” said Steven Barth, a witness at the scene. “It’s pretty crazy to think that somebody in Kendall, Kendall’s a pretty safe area, and now we’ve got people running around stealing people’s cars at gunpoint. That’s pretty scary.”
Police are still searching for the second carjacker.
