The victim lies underneath the vehicle until the deli owner runs over to pull the man from the wreckage.
A witness says if the man wasn’t pulled away, the driver might have backed over him.
“It actually felt like a movie scene until it was all over and everybody realized that this guy almost killed somebody … He gave me a look that actually put a chill through me,” witness Daryl Brown said.
After the first crash, the BMW driver is seen going in reverse into the intersection, then back toward the victim.
Police say the driver also struck two other cars.
Witnesses say the suspect eventually ditched the SUV and ran away from the scene.
So far, no word on any arrests.
The man hit by the BMW was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
