NORTH MIAMI, FLA. (WSVN) - An Uber driver was carjacked by a group of armed men in North Miami, early Sunday.
The driver, Jesus Aro, said he was picking up a passenger near Northeast 128th Street and 13th Avenue at around 3:30 a.m., when he was ambushed by a group of armed men.
The victim described the experience. “There were four of them. They robbed us at gunpoint. They made us get on the ground and held a gun to our heads. They asked if we had money,” he said through a translator.
Aro said one of the subjects was carrying an AK-47 rifle. “I don’t know what I need to say because I was nervous. I was — I don’t say nothing,” he said. “I say, ‘Oh, please, sorry guys. Relax. I’m still working. I have a family. Please don’t kill me.”
Aro said the men held a gun to his back before taking off in his 2014 gray Nissan Sentra.
