Armed Citizen Holds Hit-And-Run Driver At Gunpoint

ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO — When a driver slammed into a bicyclist on the side of the freeway, he probably figured he’d get away clean from the scene of the accident. The driver still had the bicycle lodged underneath his SUV’s frame as he tried to exit the highway. That’s when an armed citizen stepped up and held him at gunpoint until police arrived.

Video released by an eye witness depicts an armed person on the phone with police while the driver allegedly pleaded for his life. The armed citizen told him he wasn’t going anywhere. Albuquerque police arrived and arrested the driver. No word on what happened to the armed citizen but he was not detained according to KRQE News.

KRQE News 13 confirmed that the driver was 33-year-old Henry Martinez. He was booked for driving under a revoked license and leaving the scene of an accident.
