Shocking surveillance footage captured the moment a hero homeowner fought off a gang of would-be car thieves as a frenzied brawl erupted on his sleepy Connecticut street.
Law enforcement in the town of Rocky Hill are still seeking the thieves, who fled from the scene in a black Mercedes after being beaten away by their intended victim.
Home security video of the incident initially shows a man sprint up to the car and quickly gain access after it was seemingly unlocked.
But his attempts at taking off with vehicle were quickly thwarted as the owner catches him in the act, grappling with him as he drags him from the car.
Three others exit the nearby Mercedes as the two continue to struggle. One of the carjackers beats the hero with his shoe, but he refuses to submit as the group seemingly cut their losses and frantically flee the scene.
