As Karachi continues to witness a rise in street crime, there’s been an unprecedented spike in vigilante justice. In a recent incident, a driver ran over robbers in the middle of a mugging.

CCTV footage of the incident is making rounds online. One man had enough of the rampant street crime and took matters into his own hands. After observing that muggers were holding a man at gunpoint in an attempt to rob him, a car rammed into the criminals.

He ran over them at full speed. It is unclear the degree of injuries sustained by the criminals.
