A man has made a running jump, feet-first, through the open window of a moving car in Albania’s capital to stop the driver spinning erratically through the city’s Skanderbeg Square.
Footage captured by dozens of cameras set up to report on the country’s general election shows the car’s wheels screeching as it reverses in circles around the pedestrianised square.
Onlookers in the square, which is also one of the main sites of the city’s coronavirus vaccinations, tried to stop the car by grabbing the driver through the open door. But when the door slammed shut as it spun around, a man jumped feet-first through the driver-side window to bring the car to a stop.
Police said the driver, 32, had previously crashed three other cars in other parts of the city, local media told Reuters. He was believed to be driving under the influence of drugs, the BBC reported, citing police.
