In the footage, a gray Honda Accord drives up to the victim, who has not been identified. As the victim looks back at the car, the driver accelerates, hitting the man and knocking him to the ground. The car then speeds off as the man writhes in pain, clutching his legs in pain.
The victim was taken to UMC Trauma Center. According to police, just prior to the incident the victim had driven into the station's lot, swerving to avoid a dark gray, 2010 or 2011 Honda Accord that suddenly pulled in front of him.
