Man escapes attempted carjacking at gunpoint in Kent, WA

KENT, Wash. – An attempted carjacking near Pacific Raceway in Kent was captured on dash cam footage Friday morning, according to the King County Sheriff’s Office.

The encounter happened just before 10 a.m. as a man was driving to the raceway for an event.

According to deputies, the driver, who was trailering his car, reported noticing another vehicle following him. As he approached the raceway, he slowed down to allow the trailing car to pass. Instead, the vehicle moved to block him, and four masked individuals exited the car, pointing guns at him.

In the video, the driver can be seen accelerating away from the scene, ramming the suspect vehicle in the process. The suspect vehicle eventually left the area, and no arrests have been made.

Detectives are currently working to identify the suspects involved in the attempted carjacking.

Authorities are urging anyone with information about the incident to contact the King County Sheriff’s Office.
