Teenagers Attempt to Carjack Marine Corps Vet in Broad Daylight

In a scene straight out of an action movie, a Marine Corps veteran used his combat training to fight off teenagers trying to carjack him!

Surveillance footage posted on his Facebook shows tough-as-nails Jheyco Borda fending off the masked gang — and grabbing a gun from one of them — in broad daylight.

Borda, 33, was working on his truck outside his home in Oxon Hill, Md., on June 3 when the teens approached him.

The group surrounded Borda at his truck’s bed and then slipped on masks, he recalls.

“When I saw them put on a face mask … I was like, something’s about to go down,” Borda told Telemundo 44, according to Daily Mail.

One suspect reached into his jacket, pulled out a pistol, pointed it at Borda’s head and demanded his car keys and cell phone, The New York Post reported.

But when the punk took a second to look at his phone, the steely-nerved Marine didn’t hesitate. He jumped into action and lunged at the armed gunman, tussling with him for the weapon, per the Post.

As the brawl broke out, two of the teens showed their true colors and hightailed it down the street like a pair of scared rabbits. Another teen stuck around, nervously circling Borda’s vehicle and then launching himself into the scuffle.

Borda’s brother then dashed out of the house to help his sibling fend off the thugs.

As the Borda bros fought for the gun, one shot rang out tearing through the bed of his truck. Miraculously no one was struck.

Within moments, the brothers, joined by their father, who’d run out of the house to help, had thrown their attackers to the ground and restrained them. Prince George’s County police soon arrived and took the teens into custody.

Borda credited his Marine Corps hand-to-hand combat training for giving him the instincts and know-how to disarm the teenager.

“Once a Marine, always a Marine,” he told Fox 5. “It took me just one split second. We went to training for the Marines and that came out right at the moment.”

He says the teens and their parents should be held accountable for their actions and for the bullet fired.

Repairing the bullet hole will cost about $2,000, Borda says, and his car insurance won’t cover the damage.

He posted surveillance video of the violent melee on his Facebook page and captioned it: “Be careful and be aware of your surroundings.”
