Terrifying moment driver is carjacked by a gang of armed men who trap him in two cars before tying him up in the middle of the street in crime-ridden Dem-led Chicago – as motor vehicle theft skyrockets 90% in just one year

This is the terrifying moment a Chicago driver was carjacked by a gang of armed men who trapped him between two cars before tying him up at gunpoint.

Surveillance footage shared online shows several men in two vehicles surround a parked car before kicking out the driver in the crime-addled city earlier this month.

Chicago Police told DailyMail.com they did not receive any reports about the incident, which happened on the 1700 block of North Western on September 2.

A visual analysis of the video by Dailymail.com confirmed the location in the Wicker Park area of the city.

The clip shows a 2013 Audi A4 parked on the highway at night with its headlights on.

Two more vehicles rapidly approach before coming to a halt at the front and rear end of the vehicle, hemming it in. 

The Audi rolls forward in the beginnings of an attempt to escape, but within seconds three men leap from the surrounding vehicles and approach the driver. 

One points a gun at his side window while two more drag him out of the car and throw him on the ground. 

An attacker ties the man’s hands behind his back as he lay face-down on the highway, while the accomplices enter his car. 

The victim watches on helplessly as the men skirt around him in their vehicles, before all three rapidly drive away.

Scrambling for his life, the victim makes a break for it once his attackers are safely out of view. 

The horrifying footage was captured on a night when eight people were robbed over a 30 minute spree in the same neighborhood, according to local reports. 

No arrests were made for any of the crimes, per local news, including some which involved armed break-ins. 

Ultra-progressive Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson previously supported the Defund the Police movement. He was elected to the post in May 2023

Chicago Police told DailyMail.com it deals with ‘a vast volume of crimes on a daily basis’. 

The Windy City has suffered an 86% rise in motor vehicle theft rates over the last year – from 42,512 incidents reported in 2022 to 54,983 so far this year. 

Overall, this figure has rocketed by 227% since 2019, when 35,711 motor vehicle thefts were reported. 

Murder rates have also risen by 19% over the past four years under the disastrous reign of penultimate Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, while robberies are up 30%. 

Ultra-progressive Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson previously supported the Defund the Police movement, and has been criticized for what is seen by many as a soft-on-crime approach. 

He made history when he was elected in May as the first person to unseat a presiding mayor in the Dem-led city since 1983, pledging to make the city a place where ‘all residents can live and work free from the threat of violence’.

Johnson’s radical approach to policing involves reallocating funds from enforcement to social services like housing and education, while taxing the rich and local businesses.

His outlook on crime was brought into sharp focus in April when he insisted the city should not ‘demonize’ teens for organizing an inner-city event that turned hopelessly violent and left multiple minors shot. 

A terrified woman was filmed screaming as she was set on by a group of youngsters during an orgy of violence – which outgoing Mayor Lori Lightfoot also insisted ‘wasn’t mayhem.
